It is not a guarantee that it is actually sealed. You can check your record to see if it shows up. This will prove that it was actually sealed. Also, if the court dismisses the case and seals it, then it should be destroyed immediately, not after 6 years.
In a perfect world the Federal Gov't is not allowed to see sealed cases.
