About clearing a record in Alaska

You can clear your Alaska record in narrow circumstances. Alaska law lets you petition to seal criminal justice information under Alaska Stat. § 12.62.180, but only when the record resulted from mistaken identity or false accusation. The process uses a petition filed with the Alaska Department of Public Safety.

Alaska limits sealing to records that resulted from mistaken identity or false accusation — there is no general sealing or expungement path for records based on the underlying merits of the case.

You must convince the application reviewers, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the charges resulted from mistaken identity or false accusation.

Petitions are filed with the Alaska Department of Public Safety rather than the court that handled the original case.
