Clear your Alabama record.

You can clear your Alabama record. State law lets you expunge arrest records under Ala. Code §§ 15-27-1 to 15-27-21. Some convictions qualify too. They must be non-violent. You file a petition. Then comes a court hearing.

Read the guide

Each arrest or incident needs its own petition. That one filing covers its charges and convictions.

For a felony conviction, you need a pardon first.

You will order your criminal history from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. It accepts only a cashier's check or money order.

You serve every agency or entity that holds the records you want cleared. For example: ALEA, the clerk of court, and the arresting agency.
