Just because a case file has been purged does not mean that the case has been removed from your record. In order to get a case removed from your record you must apply for a Certificate of Eligibility for expungement. You can find the application and other information at www.fdle.state.fl.us. If you have any further questions, you may call FDLE at 1-850-410-7870.
