Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an arrest stay on my record in South Carolina if I wasn't convicted?
In South Carolina, 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. South Carolina's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
Are South Carolina marriage records public?
Marriage records in South Carolina are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order. For local records, contact your county or town clerk's office; older records may be held by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control – Vital Records.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in South Carolina?
In South Carolina, 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 South Carolina law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in South Carolina is known as "expungement" and runs through the General Sessions Court (via Solicitor). Typical filing fee: $310 total ($250 Solicitor + $35 Clerk + $25 SLED).
Can I find out if someone is divorced in South Carolina?
Yes. Search the Court of General Sessions / Court of Common Pleas case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most South Carolina counties offer free online case-search portals; for county-specific access contact your county or town clerk's office. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
