(in the US) Unless your offense was committed prior to your 18th birthday, you will always have a criminal record - it does not "go away" after a certain number of years.

-----------------------------

This actually depends on the country you receive the criminal record in. For example, in Canada a criminal record stays on RCMP databases until you reach the age of 80 and have remained crime free for the last 10 years (with some exceptions). If an individual still has an outstanding warrant, is subject to life imprisonment, is a dangerous offender, or is still subject to a prohibition order that has not expired, they must wait an additional 10 years, or reach the age of 100 before the RCMP will remove the criminal record.

Until you reach the age of majority (wherever it is where you live), then, customarily, your juvenile record will be sealed to public access.
