VerifiedHi My name is ***** ***** I am a New Zealand lawyer based in Wellingtonwith more than 42 years of experience. I am here to help with your questions.
The Criminal Records Clean Slate Act only applies after 7 years from the date of conviction, so this will be a problem until you have reached that time. Unfortunately this cannot be reduced, so this may cause some problems, although it should not prevent you from working. Some employers may be put off
