How long, after a felony conviction does it remain on your record?

Question

It has been 7 years since I committed a felony and I have not committed any other crimes. Is there a general amount of time that it is no longer held against you?

Answer 1

You can check with the county and state the you reside in.. I'm not sure that they remove that type of charge, I'm not sure tho

Answer 2

It is always on your record unless you have a pardon and get it expunged.  How much weight a prospective employer gives that conviction is up to him, but it will probably depend on the job you are applying for.  

Answer 3

They're for life...it doesn't go away unless it's expunged, and you'll need an attorney for that process.

Answer 4

For life, or until you get it expunged...if you can.

If you have 2 felonies, you can't ever get it expunged.

Answer 5

It's always on your record, unless you get it pardoned by Governor/President.

Even if it is expunged, it is still on your record, that just means that it does not show if an employer looks up your criminal record.  

Answer 6

Your criminal record stays in tact until you request to have it sealed. Its automatic like most people think. For felonies, you have to wait 5 years to file a petition for non-disclosure. For a misdemeanor, depending on the case, it could be up to 2 years.
