What happens when your Virginia criminal conviction is sealed?

Last updated: December 29th, 2023

Virginia Code § 19.2-392.15 says that when a criminal conviction is sealed, most employers cannot ask about a sealed conviction and the applicant can deny the arrest and conviction. This puts applicants with sealed convictions on equal footing when applying for new jobs.

Virginia Code Section § 19.2-392.15 also says that when a criminal conviction is sealed, landlords cannot ask about a sealed conviction and the applicant can deny the arrest and conviction.

Sealed convictions are removed from the Virginia online docketing system which removes the public stigma of criminal convictions.

With over 1.6 million Virginians that have at least one criminal conviction, sealing will be a potentially life changing opportunity for thousands of those who take advantage of this opportunity!
