Expungement

Expungement eliminates records or information in files, computers and other places that document criminal charges. In Indiana, the cases that are eligible for expungement include:

• When you were arrested but no charges were placed
• Criminal charges that were dropped because of mistaken identity, no offense was committed or there was no probable cause for thinking you committed the crime

A petition for expungement is filed with the court.  To expunge a juvenile record, you must be at least 18 years old and at least three years must have passed since the last Order of the Court. When an expungement is granted, all fingerprints, photographs and arrest records are turned over to you or are destroyed within 30 days.

If you do not qualify for expungement, in some circumstances you can petition to have access to criminal record restricted. An Indiana expungement lawyer can advise you about the legal options available for clearing your record.
