Sealed Juvenile Record

Curious, I am 24 years old 9 years ago at age 15 I took my family car without permission. Long story short my friend driving, I as passenger got caught by sheriff. My parents asked that I stay a night in juvenile hall, my fingerprints were taken. In WA this is a class c felony, my parents regret their parental decision now. My charge was deffered and then we sealed the record. I was told I could answer No on conviction questions on application, so I have. I have applied for a non licensed assistant position with a large firm. They are doing a third-party background check including FBI fingerprints. I checked with my local authorities and there is no record found, they cross checked FBI, there is no record. BUT I have read that the fingerprints can come back, and the FBI can show this as well as a sealed record. Anyone have experience with this?

 

Yes the record is sealed and is 15 years old at this point. It's technically not a felony or misdemeanor because I was a juvenile, but due to the nature of it, it will pop up as a felony I'm told.

I may expunge it, but if they can see it either way then what's the point? I called FINRA and they said I have to reveal it and it likely would Bar me from the industry unless my hiring firm submits some documentation. I guess I'm screwed since I wouldn't expect them to go the extra mile on a new hire.
