Arizona Certificate of Second Chance
Understanding the Certificate of Second Chance
A criminal record can have lasting consequences, affecting employment, housing, and professional opportunities. Fortunately, under Arizona House Bill 2067, individuals who have had their records set aside may also qualify for a Certificate of Second Chance. This certificate serves as an official recognition that you have completed your sentence and have taken steps to move forward with your life.
At Clear My Record™, we specialize in helping individuals navigate the process of obtaining a Certificate of Second Chance in Arizona. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you receive the second chance you deserve.
What is a Certificate of Second Chance?
A Certificate of Second Chance is designed to remove barriers created by a criminal conviction. When a conviction is set aside, it does not erase the record, but it does show that you have completed all court requirements. The certificate enhances the benefits of a set-aside by helping to restore access to important life opportunities, including:
- Employment – Many employers hesitate to hire individuals with criminal records. This certificate can improve your chances of securing a job.
- Occupational Licenses – Many professions require licensing, and past convictions can be an obstacle. The certificate lifts licensing restrictions, allowing you to pursue careers in fields such as healthcare, real estate, and skilled trades.
- Housing – Landlords often conduct background checks, and a criminal record can make it difficult to secure housing. A Certificate of Second Chance helps demonstrate rehabilitation, making it easier to find a place to live.
Who Qualifies for a Certificate of Second Chance?
To qualify, individuals must have had their conviction set aside and meet specific waiting period requirements:
- Misdemeanors – Eligible immediately after the conviction is set aside.
- Class 4, 5, or 6 felonies – A waiting period of two years after sentence completion.
- Class 2 or 3 felonies – A waiting period of five years after sentence completion.
If your record was set aside before August 2021, you may still be eligible for a Certificate of Second Chance. Our team can help you determine if you qualify.
