EXPUNGEMENT NOTICE
Expungements are permitted for certain arrests, diversions, and convictions. If the Expungement is ordered, the person is thereafter treated as NOT having been arrested, convicted or diverted of the crime. Be aware, the District Attorney's Office may still expose the expungement.
The following documents are needed to begin the expungement process:
- Petition for expungement completed and signed by the petitioner
- Order for expungement completed and signed by the petitioner
- Cover Sheet
- Notice of Hearing
- Payment of $195 to the Clerk of the District Court
These documents will be completed and filed with the Clerk of the District Court along with payment of necessary fees. Copies of those filings must then be served on the District Attorney's Office and appropriate law enforcement agency.
The Shawnee County District Attorney's Office has provided templates to help assist you with the expungement process:
