How exactly do “permanent records” work? Do they actually exist, especially beyond school?

They do not exist and you don’t have to worry about them. Unless you’re breaking the law. Those records exist.
The only thing that’s relevant to higher education or employment is your high school transcript. Anything that happens before high school is pretty much completely irrelevant.
Well, school permanent records are largely a scare tactic.
But in today’s information age, all records are permanent. I recently has to do a Verisign kind of document to e-file my taxes. To confirm my identity, it asked me about an address I moved to in 2002 and a car I bought in 1999.
If you transfer highschools, you’re lucky to get your credits to move with you correctly, your disciplinary record certainly won’t make it lol.

Back in the late 90s (I graduated in 1983) I was asked for my High school transcripts for a job…I was kind of stressed about it since my high school did not have them available (They could still get them but the admin I talked to did not know how long it would take.). The job recruiter told me that it was just a box they had to check and no one cared.
When I got a security clearance in the late 00s I saw my file and it actually had some of the record (transcripts, a couple disciplinary actions) in it Although I think it was gathered as part of my Navy recruitment from around the time I graduated
Everytime I hear of a “Permanent Record”, it always reminds me of that Nickelodeon show, “Doug”.
The principal in that show was ALWAYS threatening to punish Doug by putting shit on his permanent record.

There are two ways to interpret the question: if it is just what your school puts on the school record, it’ll live with you until you are out of school, if that long. Criminal records where the police are involved can be permanent. If you aren’t tried as an adult, much of your juvenile record can be expunged when you hit 18, meaning say, an employer can’t see it. People in the legal system, cops and the like, still can in certain cases though.
