Criminal History Expungement Eligibility

Clear Your Name: Remove Your Criminal Record & Move Forward

A mistake that results in a criminal conviction can follow you for years—even the rest of your life. But it doesn’t have to: it is possible to take felony convictions off of your record through a process called expungement.

How Expungement Works in Michigan

*If you have…*	*You can…*
1. felony conviction and 2 misdemeanors	Petition the court to expunge the felony charge.
2. misdemeanors and no felonies	Petition the court to expunge one or both of the misdemeanor charges.

By removing convictions from your record, you can legally tell employers that you’ve never been convicted of a crime. That alone makes expungement worth pursuing.

Convictions that Cannot be Expunged

Whether or not you can take a conviction off your record depends on the nature of the crime itself. Crimes that cannot be expunged include:

Murder
Kidnapping
Armed robbery
Criminal sexual conduct
Drunk driving
Driving under the influence of drugs or with drugs present in the vehicle
Any criminal convictions under the Michigan Vehicle Code (misdemeanor and felony traffic offenses)
