Frequently Asked Questions
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Kentucky?▼
Yes — in Kentucky, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Kentucky?▼
In Kentucky, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by Kentucky law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in Kentucky is known as "expungement" and runs through the Circuit Court.
How do I find someone's immigration court case?▼
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) operates an Automated Case Information system at acis.eoir.justice.gov. Search by A-Number to find the next hearing date, court location, and case status. EOIR is part of the U.S. Department of Justice and handles all federal immigration court proceedings.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Kentucky?▼
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Kentucky record. However, government employers, law enforcement, schools, healthcare facilities, and any role requiring a fingerprint-based check can see sealed records under specific statutory exemptions. Confirm specifics with the sealing court.
