How long will it take to get my record expunged?

  • If a determination has been made that your record can be expunged, then the necessary paperwork has to be done.
  • This includes the order, the verified petition signed by you, and copies of judgment of convictions or dispositions.
  • You will ultimately have to get a court date.
  • Once an order is signed, that paperwork is then sent back to our office and has to be re-sent out to all the agencies that now need to start conforming to their records.
  • It generally takes somewhere in the neighborhood of around three months to get that hearing date once the paperwork is done.
  • It then takes another twelve weeks before we get the letter back from the state police indicating that they have now confirmed their records.
