Completing Your Petition

  • You can manually enter information that does not automatically populate in the Expungement System (e.g., the county of the incident, date of arrest, docket/indictment number). You may have to manually enter case information for older cases, or out-of-state matters.
  • Remember, the system will not provide family case information unless you enter the specific family case number. Therefore, you may need to manually enter family case information, particularly if you have more than one juvenile case.
  • If you have convictions that are not eligible for expungement, you can omit them from the expungement order.
  • Ensure that all parties who were involved in your arrest and/or conviction are served. There is an option to add different parties like the jail or prison warden of the county or the county probation or parole department.
  • You will be asked to verify information, including whether you have filed an expungement before, and whether you have any pending criminal charges against you.
  • You will have an opportunity to submit information regarding any “compelling circumstances,” if it is required for your expungement.
  • You can add up to three separate supporting documents, which may include your criminal history record, final dispositions from the court, or certificates of completion.
  • Be sure to review the preview of the expungement documents for accuracy, and print or save once satisfied with the submission.
