Expunging Town 'n' Country Arrest Records
If you were arrested in Town 'n' Country and the charges were dropped or you were found not guilty, you may qualify to get the record sealed or expunged. Sealing puts the record under seal so the public cannot see it, but courts still can under Section 943.059. Expunging under Section 943.0585 means the record is physically destroyed. Both processes go through the FDLE Seal and Expunge Section.
The fee is $75 by money order. Processing takes about 12 weeks. You can reach FDLE at 850-410-7870 or SEinfo@fdle.state.fl.us. One thing to keep in mind is that sealing or expunging a Town 'n' Country arrest record does not remove copies from private mugshot websites. Those sites are not required by law to take down photos even after a court order from FDLE.
Note: FDLE seal and expunge processing takes about 12 weeks from receipt of a completed application.
