Under A.R.S. § 13-911, Arizona allows record sealing for most criminal convictions after completing your sentence and waiting period: 2 years for class 1 misdemeanors, 3 years for class 6 felonies, 5 years for class 4–5 felonies, and 10 years for class 2–3 felonies. Certain offenses are ineligible including dangerous offenses, sex offenses, and offenses against children. A Tempe record sealing attorney can evaluate your eligibility and file the petition.
A Set Aside under A.R.S. § 13-907 allows the court to dismiss a conviction after sentence completion, but the record remains visible with a notation that it was set aside — employers can still see it. Record sealing under A.R.S. § 13-911 (enacted 2023) actually hides the record from most background checks, allowing you to legally answer 'no' to questions about convictions on most job applications. A Tempe attorney can advise which relief is available and appropriate for your record.
