New York City.
I have two cases from a while back in both of which I've been arrested but never went to trial and they were both dismissed and subsequently sealed. One case was from about 10 years ago when I was 19 and got into a fight at home, I think the charge was domestic disturbance. The second time was 5 years ago when my insurance and registration lapsed and I was arrested for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. The charge was "failure to maintain financial responsibility" Both cases occurred in NYC and I was not convicted in either one. They were both dismissed and then sealed. I've been reading some articles that even sealed records will show up on the background check. I've had 4 background checks done by CastleBranch (during each semester at nursing shchool) and neither one came back with anything, however from what I understand pre-license background check is different in that it's not performed by a private agency like CastleBranch but by the goverment itself, and so everything shows up. Is that true for New York licensing, and if so will it have any impact?
Thanks.
