Introduction

In 2018 Missouri passed a new comprehensive expungement law, which is now codified at 610.140 RSMo. Under the new law approximately 1,900 offenses can now be expunged. A petition to expunge a misdemeanor may be filed one (1) years after completion of any sentence or probation period. A petition to expunge a felony may be filed three (3) years after completion of any sentence or probation period.

The petition for expungement must include the applicant’s full name, sex, race, driver’s license number, if applicable, current address, each offense, violation, or infraction for which the petitioner is requesting expungement, the approximate date the petitioner was charged for each offense, violation, or infraction, the name of the county where the petitioner was charged for each offense, violation, or infraction and if any of the offenses, violations, or infractions occurred in a municipality, the name of the municipality for each offense, violation, or infraction, and the case number and name of the court for each offense. The applicant must also complete a fingerprint background check through the Missouri State Highway Patrol. There are numerous locations throughout the country where this can be completed, and our attorneys can assist you in scheduling a date and time for fingerprinting.

Once a petition is filed, the state has thirty (30) days to file an objection. A hearing can then be set a few weeks later if there is no objection, or a trial if the state does object. Generally, the state does not file an objection if all requirements are met at the time of filing. Upon the granting of an expungement order the effect of such order shall be to restore such person to the status he or she occupied prior to such arrests, pleas, trials, or convictions as if such events had never taken place. Any rights lost due to a felony conviction are restored upon the entry of an expungement order.

Offenses That May Be Expunged

Many offenses can now be expunged under the statute. The following list includes many of the offenses that can be expunged, but due to the large number of expungeable offenses, they cannot all be listed here.

    Can leaving the scene of an accident be expunged? (Class E felony)

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on January 14, 2020 at 6:46 pm

      Yes, leaving the scene of an accident can be expunged if all other requirements are met.

  2. Monica on October 12, 2022 at 4:00 pm

    Can a refusal for a breathalyzer be expunged after 10 years

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on October 18, 2022 at 2:30 pm

      A first DWI (whether a refusal or bac) can usually be expunged after 10 years assuming no other alcohol related enforcement contacts and no subsequent DWI or drug charges.

      If you are talking about a civil case on case-net challenging a refusal revocation, those aren’t subject to expungement but some judges will make them closed records if you expunge the underlying DWI.

  3. Stephen Leetch on November 10, 2022 at 7:05 am

    Can a felony distribution of Marijuana charge from 2001 be expunged? Completion of parole was 2009, with treatment completion and no new charges since the questioned charge or before charge in question for that matter.

    • Chris Braddock on November 14, 2022 at 5:06 pm

      Hi Stephen,

      Many marijuana offenses are expungable under the general expungement statute 610.140 RSMo. Additional marijuana offenses will also be expungeable under Amendment 3 to the MO Constitution which passed and becomes effective December of 2022. However, in both circumstances there are still some offenses which may be excluded. In order to know whether you offense is expungeable I would need to know the exact statute you were convicted under. The best option would be to call our office at 573.443.6244 and we could discuss the specifics of your situation.

  4. Alison on December 23, 2022 at 3:58 pm

    Is it possible to get a closed case expunged for forgery? It’s been over 10 years and no issues prior or after.

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on December 28, 2022 at 6:31 pm

      It would depend on the specific statute the conviction was under. Section 570.090 (general forgery statute) is excluded from expungable offenses. If your actual conviction was under a different statute, however, there may be options.

  5. Linda Deogracias on January 8, 2023 at 12:21 am

    Is it possible to expunge a misdemeanor of unlawful use if a credit device

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on January 16, 2023 at 2:47 pm

      If it is a conviction under 570.130 (Fraudulent use of a credit or debit device) it is potentially expungable. If you would like assistance, please contact our office at 573.443.6244.

  6. Bryan Dick on February 15, 2023 at 12:43 pm

    Can a shoplifting ( Misdemeanor) be expunged? I have a similar one expunged about 10 years ago,

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on February 16, 2023 at 2:56 pm

      Misdemeanor stealing (570.030) is generally expungable. I would need more information to provide a definitive answer concerning your specific charge. If you would like to discuss filing an expungement, please contact us at 573.443.6244.

  7. Katherine Jarvis on February 15, 2023 at 11:52 pm

    Can felony class C RSMo 565.060 be expunged if it is assault and over 13 years since the sis probation was completed and absolutely no other charges except traffic ticket has ever happened before this or after this.

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on February 16, 2023 at 2:53 pm

      Second Degree Assault under 565.060 (now 565.052) can likely be expunged, unless the charged involved a “special victim” as defined in 565.002.14 RSMo. I would need additional information to provide a definitive answer, however. If you would like to discuss the specifics of your situation, please contact us at 573.443.6244.

  8. Danielle C Hauersperger on February 22, 2023 at 12:40 am

    I have a Class C felony for Tampering with a Motor Vehicle from like 2008 and a Possession of Controlled Substance, Class C from 2015. Am I eligible for expungement in Missouri? Can I restore my gun rights?

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on February 22, 2023 at 4:06 pm

      The general expungement statute 610.140 RSMo only allows expungement of one felony case per person. Since you have two different cases you wouldn’t be able to expunge both under that section.

      • Harold on March 18, 2023 at 4:27 am

        If I have a class c possession of a controlled substance..(marijuana) in a correctional facility that sentenced is not complete am i eligible for expungement while absconding ?

        • Cline Braddock Basinger on April 26, 2023 at 1:06 pm

          You cannot expunge a charge until the sentence is complete and the requisite amount of time thereafter has passed with no new convictions – for misdemeanors the time is one year, for felonies it is three years. If your sentence is not completed you would not be eligible for expungement under 610.140 RSMo.

  9. Robert on March 21, 2023 at 3:39 am

    Hi, I have an Assault 3rd Degree – Pursuant To Subdivisions (1), (2), (4), (6) { Misdemeanor A RSMo: 565.070 } on my record, and was curious if it was possible for me to get it expunged?

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on March 21, 2023 at 6:14 pm

      If it is a misdemeanor and it has been more than a year since you completed any sentence or probation and you don’t have new criminal charges in the past year then it is likely expungable, but we would need to speak with you to get more information to give a definitive answer. If you would like to discuss this matter, please contact our office at 573.443.6244.

  10. Sherri H on April 2, 2023 at 3:02 am

    I was convicted of Assault in the 2nd degree, Class C Felony(originally SIS, but probation was revoked and it turned into a SES) in 2006 and completed my probation in 2008. Is there any chance that i could get my Charge expunged?

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on April 5, 2023 at 2:13 pm

      Unfortunately, felony assault convictions are not expungable under 610.140 RSMo. The legislature does change the statute from time to time, but at present felony assault is excluded from what can be expunged.

  11. Derek K on April 6, 2023 at 2:16 am

    I have a class c felony of stealing, and a separate charge of second degree burglary, they were convictions 4 years apart from each other, but were ran concurrently, one was in 2001 and the other in 2005, if they are ran concurrently would I be able to get them both expunged since they ended up being ran together so I can do time on them all at once?

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on April 26, 2023 at 1:04 pm

      Because the actions constituting the offenses occurred on different dates and were filed as separate cases, I believe a court would treat it as two distinct felony cases regardless of concurrent sentences. The maximum eligible for expungement is one felony case, so I do not believe you would be able to expunge both.

  12. Shelle Cam on April 26, 2023 at 8:12 am

    I was arrested and went to “jail” for speeding!!! Speeding!!! Can I get this silly crime expunged? This happened last month.

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on April 26, 2023 at 1:01 pm

      Speeding is expungable, but you cannot file to expunge until one year after completing any sentence. So, if this happened a month ago it is too early to expunge. If the case is still pending there may be resolutions that would not involve a criminal record in the first place, but I would need more information to know if such options would apply in this matter or not. If you would like to discuss, please contact our office at 573.443.6244.

    I was convicted in federal court of wire fraud almost 15 years ago, and served a sentence of 18 months (actual time served 12 months). There still remains a balance on the restitution.
    Is it possible to get this expunged?

      Hi Gary,

      If it is a federal conviction it would not be subject to Missouri’s expungement statute. The Missouri statute only concerns state offenses. I would suggest contacting an attorney whose practice focuses on federal criminal law to enquire about your issue. Our office primarily handles state charges.

    I have a possession charge from 2020 with an SES. Probation And Veterans Outreach Program are completed. I want to get my gun rights back if possible.

      Hi Charles, If your conviction is a felony you must be at least three years past being fully released from probation. Depending on when you completed probation you may not be eligible yet on a 2020 conviction. If you would like to discuss this more please contact our office at 573.443.6244.

    Can a Misdemeanor B RSMo: 301.020 (failure to register motor vehicle) be expunged after a year?

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on August 7, 2023 at 1:30 pm

      Yes, that is an expungable offense. You would need to be one year past completion of any sentence. If it was a fine then it would be one year after the fine was paid. You can call our office at 573.443.6244 if you would like to discuss this matter further.

    Can my record be expunged if my convictions were run concurrent? Class D intent to distribute & Class D possession of a controlled substance x2

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on October 6, 2023 at 3:04 pm

      If the offenses were under the same indictment or information (i.e. same case number) or were committed as part of the same course of criminal conduct (committed on the same date) both convictions could be treated as a single offense for the purpose of expungement – meaning you could then expunge both. I would need more information to know whether that is possible in your specific circumstance. Please feel free to call our office at 573.443.6244 if you would like to discuss you matter in more detail.

    I have a non violent federal felony larceny conviction in eastern Virginia in 1991. Can this be removed or do I need to 1. Have Virginia do it or 2. Have federal system remove?

    • Cline Braddock Basinger on May 30, 2024 at 2:09 pm

      Hi Greg, if it is a Virginia conviction or a federal conviction it would not be able to be expunged by Missouri courts. Whether or not it is expungeable at all would be dependent on either Virginia statutes or federal statutes.

        Okay I have a 2nd degree burglary charge I did my time on probation but I wasn’t able to pay off the rest of my restitution payments so they made it to where it stays on my record so instead of getting SIS they made it SES would it be any way to get it expunged off of my record since it was my first & only charge

        • Cline Braddock Basinger on June 7, 2024 at 1:30 pm

          Hi Joe, 2nd Degree Burglary is an expungable offense. We would be happy to discuss this with you and see if it is something we can assist with. Please give us a call at 573.443.6244.
