The answers behind the answer

    Offense category, years since completion, and supervision status.

    Automatic, petition, wait, or excluded — with the controlling statute.

Why we built this

An information hub — and honest about what we're not.

Roughly 70 million Americans have a criminal record. Many have served their sentence years ago and meet their state's criteria for record sealing — but the eligibility rules vary wildly across the 50 states, and most law firm websites only cover one jurisdiction. The few national resources are encyclopedic, not interactive.

CleanSlateCheck.us exists to bridge that gap. We're an information hub, not a law firm. The quiz returns a statute-cited answer; every state page lays out the procedure, fees, and exceptions; and when you want a licensed attorney to take it from there, we connect you with vetted local expungement counsel through our partner network.

We tell you when an answer is uncertain. We tell you when a statute hasn't been verified by an attorney reviewer. We never invent jurisprudence or fabricate stats. And we never log your specific quiz inputs — the audience here is sensitive to surveillance, and we treat that as a hard design constraint.

One minute, no account

See where you stand today.

Answer four short questions and get a statute-cited read on whether your record can be sealed — automatic, petition, wait, or excluded.
