Ohio allows some records to be sealed under ORC 2953.32. Once sealed, the record drops from public searches. Law enforcement can still access it. Violent crimes, sex offenses, and crimes against children are usually excluded. File in the court where the conviction happened. Recent Ohio law changes expanded eligibility.
