In some cases it operates by law; for more serious convictions, it must be requested from the court. The term does not always count from the date of the judgment, and the payment of civil obligations may count.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal rehabilitation: when does it occur?<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Criminal Code, legal rehabilitation involves being sentenced to a fine, a maximum of 2 years in prison, or imprisonment with suspended sentence under supervision. The condition is that, within the 3-year period, the convicted person must not have committed another crime. For the suspended sentence, the term begins after the completion of the supervision period, not at the time of the sentencing.<\/p>\n<p>Legal rehabilitation does not involve a court request, but the updating of the records can be verified separately. If the mention still appears in the criminal record after the conditions are met, request information about the rectification procedure and submit the documents regarding the conviction, the execution of the sentence, and the relevant data.<\/p>\n<h2>What deadlines apply for judicial criminal rehabilitation?<\/h2>\n<p>For other prison sentences, the convicted person may request rehabilitation within the terms provided for in Article 166 of the Criminal Code:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 years for a sentence of more than 2 years, but not more than 5 years;<\/li>\n<li>5 years for a sentence of more than 5 years, but not more than 10 years;<\/li>\n<li>7 years for a sentence of more than 10 years or life imprisonment commuted or replaced with imprisonment;<\/li>\n<li>10 years for life imprisonment considered executed under the law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Normally, the term is calculated from the end of the execution of the main sentence or from the prescription of the execution. For a fine, the calculation begins after the full payment or extinguishment thereof by another means, and for supervised suspension, the end of the supervised period is taken into account. In the case of successive convictions, the law establishes special rules: the term is related to the most severe punishment and runs from the execution of the last sentence.<\/p>\n<h2>What conditions must be met?<\/h2>\n<p>During the judicial rehabilitation period, the person must not have committed another offense. Also, the court costs must be paid and the civil obligations from the judgment must be fulfilled. The exceptions provided by law apply in situations where the person proves that they were unable to pay or the civil party waived compensation.<\/p>\n<p>The application is submitted to the court that adjudicated the case in the first instance or to the court corresponding to the convicted person\u2019s domicile. It must identify the conviction, the act, the residences and places of work during the relevant period, the grounds for the application and the data necessary to identify the case file. Attach the final judgment and the evidence regarding the execution of the sentence, the criminal record, payment of expenses and compensation, as applicable.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the effects?<\/h2>\n<p>Rehabilitation removes the falls, prohibitions and incapacities resulting from conviction, under the conditions of the law. It does not oblige to reintegration into a lost position and does not remove the safety measures. The effects on a professional situation or on a special requirement must be verified in the applicable law of that situation.<\/p>\n<p>Consult <a href=\"https:\/\/legislatie.just.ro\/Public\/FormaPrintabila\/00000G0U25GS330X9K808PJ5L4FL2XGS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Criminal Code, Articles 165\u2013170<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/legislatie.just.ro\/Public\/FormaPrintabila\/00000G14C8DLYHHD6Y20R7TWYRPMBLJO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Criminal Procedure Code, Articles 527\u2013537<\/a>.
