Having a case expunged involves asking a judge to order that a criminal conviction be removed permanently from a person’s criminal history report. Not all charges are eligible for expungement and there are several steps in the process, including first obtaining an Expungement Certification. Once the certification has been obtained, a person may file a Petition for Expungement with the Circuit Court Clerk in the county where the conviction occurred. There may be fees associated with an expungement so check with the Circuit Court Clerk in the county you are filing in to confirm the amount you may be required to pay.
These forms are provided as a convenience to individuals and are not a substitute for legal advice. If you have difficulty filling out these forms, then you may wish to consult with an attorney.
