Expungement Services

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).
  • 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 qualify and are interested in seeing if it can be expunged or sealed:
Fill out our Online Expungement Request Form

After we review your request, someone from our office will contact you.

 
NOTE: While we work as quickly as possible to review expungement requests, we receive so many applications that it typically takes several weeks before we’re able to review and respond. We thank you for your patience!
