United States – March 31, 2023 —
RecordZap.com is an innovative legal services business that is revolutionizing the way individuals with criminal records expunge, seal, or clear their records. This cutting-edge platform simplifies and streamlines the expungement process using technology, making it easier for individuals to clear their records and move forward with their lives.
According to the National Institute of Justice, approximately one-third of adults in the United States have a criminal record. This translates to around 70 million Americans who face significant challenges in securing employment, housing, and education opportunities, as well as voting rights. However, many Americans with criminal records are not aware that they can get their records cleared, sealed, or expunged.
Here are a few statistics that shed light on the scope of these challenges:
- Employment: According to a report by the National Employment Law Project, up to 1 in 3 American adults have some type of criminal record that may show up on a background check. Individuals with criminal records are often denied employment opportunities, with some estimates suggesting that they are 50% less likely to receive a job offer than similarly qualified applicants without a criminal record.
- Housing: Individuals with criminal records may also face difficulties obtaining housing, particularly if they have been convicted of a drug offense or a crime related to violence. According to a report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, more than 2,000 public housing authorities have policies that restrict access to housing based on criminal records.
- Education: Students with criminal records may also face difficulties accessing education. According to a report by The Sentencing Project, more than two-thirds of colleges and universities collect information about applicants’ criminal histories, and more than a quarter of those institutions use that information to deny admission to some applicants.
- Voting: In some states, individuals with criminal records may be denied the right to vote. According to the Sentencing Project, an estimated 6.1 million Americans are unable to vote due to felony disenfranchisement laws.
Many Americans with criminal records for non-violent crimes, including traffic violations charged as misdemeanors, have no idea that they can get their records cleared. But, doing so can be very difficult and confusing by non-attorneys.
RecordZap.com was founded by a team of legal professionals who were frustrated with how difficult and confusing the expungement process could be.

Further, demographic factors such as race, gender, and socioeconomic status can play a role in difficulties Americans with criminal records face. Record Zap can help clear, seal, or expunge misdemeanor and felony criminal records in multiple states.
