About clearing a record in California

You can clear your California record. California law automatically clears many qualifying records under Cal. Penal Code § 1203.425, and lets you petition the court for relief on records that don't qualify automatically under Cal. Penal Code § 1203.4. The petition route may involve a court hearing.

California passed a Clean Slate bill that automatically seals most records as soon as they qualify, without requiring you to file anything.

California has a specific process for marijuana-related charges, separate from the general petition path.
