This could be a complicated question. It depends on a number of thinkgs, including the reason you're supplying information about yourself to the city, what you were arrested for, how your records got expunged and destroyed and where that took place. Not all states handle expungement the same way.
You should discuss the details of your situation with a good attorney, because if you are in the wrong, when you fail to disclose an arrest, it's usually a serious problem. One place you can look for a qualified lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
