EXPUNGEMENT FAQ

A criminal record can continue to affect your life long after a case has ended. In Indiana, some arrests, charges, and convictions may qualify for expungement, but eligibility depends on the type of case, how the case was resolved, how much time has passed, and whether all legal requirements have been satisfied.

Expungement can be an important step for people seeking to move forward after a criminal matter. A qualifying expungement may help reduce the impact a record can have on employment, housing, education, and other future opportunities. At the same time, not every record qualifies, and the process is not the same in every situation.

Because expungement law is fact-specific, it is important to review the details of your record carefully before assuming you do or do not qualify. The type of charge, whether there was a conviction, the date of the case, and whether all obligations were completed can all matter.

When evaluating a possible expungement, important questions often include:

• What type of arrest, charge, or conviction is involved
• How the case was resolved
• How much time has passed since the case ended
• Whether all sentencing terms and obligations were completed
• Whether other legal requirements apply
