How long will a felony stay on your record?

A felony charge is federal not state and yes it is permanent. Do you think this charge is keeping you from getting a job? What kind of jobs are you applying for?

a felony stays on your record forever, sorry..

a lot of companies will hire you based on your education or employment history, even if you have a felony on your record, as long as you properly declare it once asked on your application form. it should not be used as a basis for denying you a position, but, of course is still dependent on the employers' decision and/or company policies. are you in the u.s.?

u are allowed to have one felony expunged (removed) from your record. call around and try to find a sympathetic lawyer who'll let u make payments. good luck! p.s.- out of curiosity, what did u do?

The answer would be LIFE unless you can get the judge who sentanced you ti exsponge it witch hardly EVER happens, but if you have a felony it will more than likely stay on your record for life. i had a felony charge when i was 17 for stealing a car stero system but i went to court after i had turned 18 so it became perm on my record but when i turned 18 i filled to have it removed since the crim accured wheni was under 18 and i won so for me it was a non vilont crime that i did prior to 18 so i was able to get it removed after alot of paper work, but i was one of the lucky ones....so all i can say is file the proper paperwork and try wosre that happens is you get nowhere best thing you get it removed..and a lawyer can help you find the proper paperwor and how.where to file it..

I believe it is permenantly on your record. What city and state are you in? There may be specific laws that are for you area.
