Existing law authorizes a person who is the subject of a juvenile court record, or the county probation officer, to petition the court for the sealing of the records relating to the person's case, including records in the custody of the juvenile court and the probation officer and any other agencies, including law enforcement agencies and public officials as the petitioner alleges to have custody of the records. Existing law permits the petition to be filed 5 years or more after the jurisdiction of the juvenile court has terminated or, if no petition was filed, 5 years or more after the person was cited to appear before a probation officer or was taken before a probation officer or law enforcement officer, or, in any case, at any time after the person reaches 18 years of age. This provision does not apply if the person was found by the juvenile court to have committed any one of specified serious or violent offenses and the person was 14 years of age or older when he or she committed the offense. Existing law also does not permit the sealing of a person's juvenile court record for an offense if the person has been convicted of that offense in a criminal court, as specified.
