FDLE FILING TO TWO SEPERATE COURTHOUSES/DISTRICTS
I have 2 misdemeanors from the past here in Florida, one in 2003 and the other in 2005. Both were in two seperate counties, or districts. Adjudication was withheld in both and they were both dismissed. I received my FDLE certificate of elegibility to have them sealed. How do I file at the two county courthouses since I only have one FDLE certificate? Both cases are on the one certificate of elegibility. Thanks. Anthony

You can call and ask both counties how they handle this type of situation. You are not the only person to have only 1original of a document that needs to be filed in 2 different locations.
If for some reason they can't answer your question then see if you can obtain a certified copy of the FDLE certificate from the people who gave it to you. If not, go to the first county that you want to be file in. Hand them the original and tell them that you will need it back. They may just then make a photocopy, file the copy, and hand the original back. You can then take the original to the separate county for filing.
