The illegal record cannot be eliminated. The judicial organs shall reasonably register and effectively manage the information of criminals. If a minor under the age of 18 commits a crime and is sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, the relevant criminal records will be sealed, but the judicial organs can inquire about it because of the need of handling the case or the relevant units can inquire about it according to state regulations.
Legal objectivity:
The establishment of a criminal record system in the first paragraph of Article 1 of the Opinions on Establishing a Criminal Record System is not only conducive to the relevant state departments to fully grasp and use criminal information, formulate and adjust criminal policies and other public policies in a timely manner, improve and perfect relevant laws and regulations, effectively prevent and control crimes, and maintain social order, but also conducive to protecting the legitimate rights of people with criminal records and helping them return to society smoothly. Article 286 of the Criminal Procedure Law If a person was under the age of 18 at the time of committing a crime and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, the relevant criminal records shall be sealed up. If the criminal record is sealed, it shall not be provided to any unit or individual, except for the need of judicial organs to handle cases or the relevant units to make inquiries in accordance with state regulations. Units that inquire according to law shall keep the sealed criminal records confidential.
