Confidentiality - the state of being a secret. Sealed - established irrevocably. Juvenile recorders are normally closed to the public until they are 18 years. However, your records from when you are a teen are to be closed when you turn 18 and for some it is 21. Sometimes only certain juvenile records can be disclosed. In rule 50 the records of juveniles charged with a delinquency or status offense should not follow the juvenile for the rest of his or her life. These records are sealed by the court to protect the rights of the juvenile when they reach adulthood The records are closed one year after the juvenile's 18th birthday, or one year after personal or juvenile jurisdiction of the court is terminated, whichever is later. To seal juvenile records, they should be returned to the circuit clerk to be kept in a confidential and sealed file, marked as sealed and stored in secure location accessible only by clerk staff.
