About clearing a record in Arkansas

You can clear your Arkansas record. Arkansas law lets you seal arrest records and certain non-violent misdemeanor and felony convictions under Ark. Code §§ 16-90-1401 to 16-90-14019. The process uses a uniform petition and a court hearing.

Arkansas has several different sealing pathways, and each pathway has a specific uniform petition form that applies to the type of record you are clearing.

Arkansas requires a 90-day waiting period before you can refile a petition that was originally denied for some misdemeanor convictions, and a one-year waiting period for others depending on the charge.
