Expungement Info

​Expungement Certification Process

What is expungement?
In Kentucky, when you are charged with a crime or convicted of a crime, that information stays on your criminal record. Expungement is the legal process of completely removing an arrest, charge, or conviction from your record.

Why should I get an expungement?
Yes! If you qualify, you most certainly should! If you get an expungement, all records relating to the charge or conviction are deleted.
It means that you can answer “NO” when asked on an application if you have been convicted of a crime. This can help you find a job or a place to live.

How do I know if I’m eligible for an expungement in Kentucky?
You may be eligible if:
• You have misdemeanor or Class D felony convictions
• You were acquitted or charges against you were dismissed
• You received a pardon from the governor

Do charges automatically get remove from my record after 5 or 10 years?
No. Nothing is removed without getting an expungement.

Goodwill of Kentucky holds frequent expungement clinics, more information on those events may be found here.
