The check focuses on the details that shape the possible route.
Eligibility can depend on more than the age of a record. The assessment helps organise the key facts before you decide what to do next.
Offence and sentence
The offence category, fine, imprisonment or other outcome matters when considering the statutory criteria.
Your circumstances
Age at the time, available information and certain exceptions may change which next step makes sense.
Simple questions. Plain language.
You do not need your full police record in front of you to begin.
Use the information you have. Where the facts are uncertain, the assessment can guide you toward a safer next step instead of forcing a guess.
- No legal jargon quizQuestions are framed around facts you are likely to know.
- No payment wallYour initial indication is shown before any decision about paid support.
- No promise of approvalGovernment authorities control the legal decision and final processing.
What you receive
An initial direction—not a legal verdict.
Your result can indicate that the standard route may be worth exploring, that more information is needed, or that another route may be more appropriate. It does not guarantee expungement or replace a formal assessment.

A few useful answers.
01Is the eligibility test really free?
Yes. The initial online check is free and does not require payment. If you later ask CRR for paid support, the current service and price should be explained before you decide.
02Does a positive result guarantee expungement?
No. It is an initial indication based on your answers. The Department of Justice and SAPS Criminal Record Centre control the formal decision and final processing.
03What if I do not know all the details?
You can still begin. The assessment includes routes for uncertain information and may suggest obtaining or reviewing your record before relying on an answer.
04Can I stop and come back later?
The site uses a secure browser session to remember progress where permitted. You can also restart the assessment if you prefer to begin again.
Start free. Decide what happens next when you are ready.
No payment required for the initial check and no obligation to continue.
