Criminal Record from 20 years ago By Jeff @ Pardons HomeAugust 23, 2017Edited by Admin0 Back to Home Q- I have a Pardon for a DUI conviction more then 20 years ago. If my employer asked me about it what can I legally say? Can I say I do not have a criminal record? A- Once a Pardon is granted then your criminal record can not be seen by the public so you do not have to say anything. Also, most of the time the question is “do you have a criminal record to which a pardon has not been granted?”. In other words, if you have a Pardon the answer to the question is NO. Back to Home
