How do i know if my conviction record has been annulled, expunged, sealed, pardoned, erased or impounded, if not how could it get it that way?

Virginia does not automatically expunge or seal records.  You would have had to have a court hearing for records of your convictions to be expunged ("erased"), and only things for which you are found "not guilty" or the charge is "nolle prossed" can be expunged.  Otherwise, anything for which you are convicted in Virginia stays on your criminal record.  If you want to see what your record contains, you can obtain your record from the State Police.  This response is general in nature and is not legal advice. No attorney client relationship is formed by it. Further, the response does not represent the opinions or views of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.
