Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process to get my arrest record expunged?

You must complete a form requesting an arrest record expungement. This form is used to ask the court to order agencies that have arrest records pertaining to a specific incident in which the applicant was involved to destroy those records. All agencies that may have records must be identified by checking the appropriate box(es).

The form to request an arrest record expungement may be found on the Your Missouri Courts website.
