No. Juvenile records are confidential, even to the person they concern.

Yes, they have to seal it when you turn 18 so you should just go to the clerk of the juvi court and ask to see it ONCE YOUR TURN 18 and make sure they seal it. If they give you any crap go to the public defender or private lawyer who represented you.

Yes you may inquire at the courthouse about being able to look up your own juvenile records. There may be a fee for the record search. The only reason you would not be able to view those records would if they were under seal. If your wondering if anyone else can see them besides a law enforcement agency that depends on state laws and which state the record would be from. Usually employers would not be able to see your juvenile record.

Go to the clerk's office at the courthouse where the proceedings were held. They will tell you what you need to review your juvenile record.

If you are off probation and you have completed all conditions of probation including paying fines and restitution, you should go to the juvenile court and file a request to seal your case.
