EXPUNGEMENT STEP 2: Complete the following forms:
The Petition for Expungement states that you are requesting an Expungement Order and states why you qualify. Complete the Petition for Expungement Order by following the instructions for Form A.
You must then file the petition in the county where you were arrested or prosecuted as an adult or taken into custody or adjudicated as a juvenile. If you were involved in multiple cases in more than one county, contact the Criminal Case Management Office in either county and ask whether they will allow you to file for expungement of your entire record in that county.
However, if you are filing a petition for expungement solely on a conviction for a disorderly persons or a petty disorderly persons offense, you must file the petition in the county where the most recent disorderly persons or petty disorderly persons offense was adjudged.
If you are filing a petition for expungement as a result of successful graduation from drug court that occurred prior to April 18, 2016 you must file in the county where you graduated.
Next, you must complete the Verification page and sign it in the presence of a Notary Public because this page must bear a notary seal.
