Suffolk County's court records system is concentrated in downtown Boston, where the Superior Court at Pemberton Square processes serious felony cases from all four communities in the county: Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop.

Sealing Revere Felony Records
Massachusetts law allows people with felony convictions to petition for sealing after a seven-year waiting period. The wait starts when your sentence ends, not when the offense happened. Under MGL Chapter 276, Section 100A, a sealed record will not appear in standard public searches or most civilian CORI requests. Law enforcement agencies can still see it.
For Revere felony cases, the sealing petition goes to the Chelsea District Court or the Suffolk County Superior Court depending on where your case was handled. The clerk's office at either location can provide the sealing form. There is no filing fee. The process may involve a hearing, but not always.
Expungement applies mainly to dismissed cases, acquittals, and juvenile records. Adult felony convictions generally cannot be expunged in Massachusetts. Sealing is the more common and realistic option. Greater Boston Legal Services may be able to help Revere residents who need free legal help with record sealing.
