Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant in Kentucky?▼
An arrest warrant is issued by a judge based on probable cause that a crime was committed. A bench warrant is issued when someone fails to appear in court or violates a court order. Both authorize police to take you into custody in Kentucky — bench warrants are far more common in traffic and minor cases.
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.
How do I expunge a Kentucky criminal record?▼
In Kentucky, the expungement process runs through the Circuit Court (the sentencing court). Eligibility is narrow — typically limited to non-conviction outcomes, certain misdemeanors, and a limited number of offenses per lifetime. The filing fee is approximately $50 misdemeanor / $500 felony.
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Kentucky if I wasn't convicted?▼
In Kentucky, an arrest stays on your record indefinitely unless you petition the court to seal or expunge it, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. Kentucky's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Kentucky State Police.
