A clean record is priceless. Erasing prior charges makes it easier to obtain employment and pursue educational opportunities. An expunction is the removal of information related to an arrest, charge, or conviction from a person’s permanent criminal record. In 2017, the North Carolina General Assembly expanded the ability of individuals to obtain expunctions.
Expunction is now available for criminal convictions, dismissals, and other case dispositions. North Carolina no longer limits the number of expunctions a person may obtain for dismissals and not guilty judgments. The state has also reduced the waiting period required to obtain an expunction for several offenses.
