If my case was never adjudicated will It appear on my criminal record?

I received an MIP citation as a minor and underwent an informal adjustment
program in which my case was never adjudicated in a court of law. Does this mean
this incident is not on my record?

Do you mean a diversion program under the Georgia First Offender Act? If that is a yes then you were never convicted of a crime.  But it does not necessarily mean that the matter was expunged from your record entirely.  The best thing for you to do is to see someone about running a background check and see what comes up.  If enough time has passed you can liely have the record expunged or make sure it was sealed as a minor.  Go to the court and ask for the formal disposition.  Good luck.
