Clear your Louisiana record.

An expunged record is taken out of public view. It is not destroyed. Police, prosecutors and some other agencies can still see it.

You file a motion with the clerk of court in the parish where you were arrested or convicted. A motion covers the records of one arrest. You pay one set of fees for all the charges from it. The clerk sends the motion to the district attorney, the Louisiana State Police and the agency that arrested you. Each has sixty days to object. If no one objects, you can waive the hearing, and the court grants the motion if the law allows it.

A misdemeanor conviction waits more than five years after you finish your sentence, with no felony conviction in that time and no felony charge pending. A felony conviction waits more than ten years, with no other conviction in that time and no charge pending. A conviction the court set aside has no wait. Some offenses can never be expunged. The fees are set by law. Some cases pay none.
