Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Mississippi?▼
In Mississippi, 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 Mississippi law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in Mississippi is known as "expungement" and runs through the Circuit Court.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Mississippi?▼
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Mississippi 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.
What's the difference between a court record and a criminal record in Mississippi?▼
A court record shows everything filed in a specific case — pleadings, motions, judgments. A criminal record (rap sheet) is a person-centric history from the Mississippi Department of Public Safety – Criminal Information Center that aggregates arrests and dispositions across all courts in Mississippi. Court records are searched by case; criminal records by person.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Mississippi?▼
Yes. Search the Circuit Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Mississippi counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
