Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Massachusetts if I wasn't convicted?▼
In Massachusetts, 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. Massachusetts's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services.
Does an active warrant show up on a background check in Massachusetts?▼
Yes. Active warrants in Massachusetts appear on name-based criminal background checks through the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services system the moment they are entered. Some employers also run a separate NCIC warrant query, which catches federal warrants as well.
How do I find divorce records in Massachusetts?▼
Divorce decrees in Massachusetts are filed with the Clerk of the District Court / Superior Court (the trial court handling family matters). The case file is generally public, but the final decree and any sealed financial disclosures may require a written request and a fee.
What's the difference between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant in Massachusetts?▼
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 Massachusetts — bench warrants are far more common in traffic and minor cases.
