How long must I wait to apply for an expungement?
• If your crime was a misdemeanor you must wait at least one year after your final discharge. • You must wait at least two years from the time that a grand jury failed to indict you and the jury’s report of “no bill” was returned. • At least three years from the time you are off probation, parole or straight release from prison for a felony and after all court costs and any fines, restitution or community service has been paid or completed. • Any time after you were found not guilty or your case was dismissed and that information has been recorded in the court’s journal.
