-
The Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004 is an Act of Parliament in New Zealand administered by the Ministry of Justice. It allows for a criminal record to be hidden from the public if the person is eligible.
In order to be eligible under the Act a person must have:[1]
- no convictions within the last 7 years;
- never been sentenced to a custodial sentence(e.g. imprisonment, corrective training, borstal);
- never been ordered by a Court during a criminal case to be detained in a hospital due to his/her mental condition, instead of being sentenced;
- not been convicted of a "specified offence" (e.g. sexual offending against children and young people or the mentally impaired)
- paid in full any fine, reparation or costs ordered by the Court in a criminal case;
- never been indefinitely disqualified from driving under section 65 of the Land Transport Act 1998 or earlier equivalent provision.
The Ministry of Justice estimates that it may be applicable to 500,000 people the majority of which committed a minor offence when younger.[2]
