Record Suspension Application — What You Need to Know

A Record Suspension, previously known as a pardon, is a legal process that allows individuals with a criminal record to have their record removed from public databases. This helps in providing a fresh start by preventing employers, educational institutions, and the general public from accessing their criminal history. The criminal record is not erased but is set aside, meaning it will not show up in most background checks, allowing the person to reintegrate into society more easily.
