The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has begun processing sealing/expungement applications submitted in October 2016. This signifies that FDLE is currently experiencing a 6-month delay in processing.
If you submitted an application to seal or expunge your Florida arrest record back in October of 2016, you should expect to receive your FDLE Certificate of Eligibility shortly.
