Adult Record Expungement
An expungement is an order that requires state and local criminal justice agencies to erase something from a record. To be eligible for our services you must:
- Have an ADULT criminal record in Philadelphia (we cannot handle cases in other counties or states). If you have a juvenile record and you want to see if it can be expunged, please call 267-765-6770, or visit our Juvenile Expungement page
- Have been represented by the Defender Association in your matter(s)
- Not have any open cases or currently be supervised on probation or parole.
If you want to get your adult criminal record expunged:
- You can send us an email: Expungement@philadefender.org; or
