Several steps are involved in the expungement process. Prior to petitioning a Court for expungement of a Criminal Record, a person must apply for a certificate of eligibility for expungement through the Department of Law Enforcement. Once a certificate of eligibility is obtained, a petition to expunge a Criminal Record must be submitted, along with any other required documents. Once the petition is properly submitted, the Court will review the request and make a determination regarding expunction of the requested Criminal Records.
