When you apply for a license or to renew a license, you will be required to answer questions regarding criminal convictions, pending criminal charges, prior professional discipline, or currently pending professional discipline. It is important to be honest. If you are not sure whether something should be disclosed, you should speak with an attorney. For instance, in many cases, a youthful offender adjudication does not need to be disclosed. However, certain licenses very well could require such admissions with explanations. If you apply for and are granted a sealing order you may also able to deny such convictions.
