Three or more alcohol or substance abuse

I have four convictions and I got my police report there's only two on there, the other two were expunged. I wrote in the space provided all the things I was charged with. Is that going to cause a denial if I don't have certified police records?

Expungement removes records of the case from both court and law enforcement records, so they should not need information on them. It is your honesty that introduces those convictions.

As you've noted, the police record check will only show the ones that were NOT expunged.

 

When the convictions were expunged, you should have been given documentation and an expungement order. Have those on hand if you mention those prior convictions.

If you do not have them on hand, there's a chance you can obtain copies from the court clerk / your attorney that represented you (assuming you had one).

 

My suggestion though would be to only fill out your convictions, not your expungements. If you already sent in the application, then it may require some explanation at your interview (including the expunge order), though your police record clearance should, in theory, cover you.

 

There are a lot of people on here asking / discussing expunged records though. I suggest you search into it and see what others have said about mentioning those convictions and/or obtaining documented proof of expungement.
