Expunged records will not show up anywhere. Under Chapter 609A, people can petition to seal certain records after a waiting period. Once sealed, those records are hidden from public search tools. The waiting period depends on the offense. Petty misdemeanors and misdemeanors require two years with a clean record. Gross misdemeanors need three years. Some felonies can be expunged after four or five years. Not every offense qualifies, and convictions that require sex offender registration under Statute 243.166 can never be expunged.

If you are not sure whether a record has been sealed, just run the search. If nothing comes up but you know there was an arrest, it may have been expunged. You can also contact the Nicollet County District Court for more details about a specific case.
