How long does an arrest stay on my record in Mississippi if I wasn't convicted?
In Mississippi, 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. Mississippi's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Mississippi?
Yes — in Mississippi, 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.
Are Neshoba County records free to search?
Yes — every link on this page goes to an official government source. Basic searches are free. Certified copies and formal background checks carry the standard government fee.
