A: Sounds like they sent you the expungement forms. Not fishy. You will also need to order a copy of your criminal record from that county. If you were convicted, you will also need some affidavits from others not related to you to testify as to your good moral character, and an affidavit from yourself stating that you haven't gotten any other charges since.
