The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is processing July 2017 applications. If you submitted an application to seal or expunge your Florida criminal record in July of 2017, your application is currently being processed by FDLE.
This delay has caused a backlog of applications, meaning that the total length of time for a sealing or expungement in Florida, from start to finish, is about 8-12 months.
