A: If you are posting this question to find out what you can do have the records expunged, you will first need to apply for a pardon or wait. Assuming you conviction was for a non-violent crime, you will likely qualify to have the records expunged five years after your sentence ended (so in 2026). However, if granted a pardon, you can petition to have your records expunged once the pardon is granted. I recommend you speak to an experienced expungement attorney to talk about your options in getting the records expunged.
