Some programs require that you complete a criminal record check before applying. A pardon can keep your files separate so that your record will not appear in a search.
Reason #8 to Remove Your Record
Bondability.
There are many jobs that require an employer to take insurance out on their employees. Security agencies, banks, even most moving companies will ask you to be bonded. While having a criminal record may not prevent you from getting the job, outright, it is more expensive for an employer to bond you with a record, so they might not bother.

Family vacations, business trips to the United States, and nosy people prying can bring a forgotten record back to life. Sometimes, it's easier to just have it gone, for good.
