Individuals who wish to have their criminal conviction records (charges/cases) expunged must complete the expungement certification process to determine if they are eligible for expungement. An expungement certification is not required to expunge charges/case which were dismissed, or if the person was acquitted, or if felony charges did not result in an indictment.
