What is the expunction process?
After the Motion for Record Expunction is filed with the Circuit Court, we will notify the District Attorney’s Office of your request for expunction of your juvenile record and will perform a criminal history check which will show any adjudications or convictions. The District Attorney and the Director of the Juvenile Department will approve or deny the request for expunction. If approved, an Order is typed and signed by the Judge. This Order is then sent to all agencies listed on your application and is returned to our office within 21 days. Once all Orders are returned from the agencies and they have sealed or destroyed their records, our office destroys your file and removes you from the state computer database. You will be notified through a letter from the Wasco County Circuit Court that your juvenile record has been expunged.
