About clearing a record in Maine

You can clear your Maine record in narrow circumstances. Maine law lets you move to seal certain criminal history records under Title 15, Chapter 310-A, but only for a limited set of conviction types. The process uses a petition filed with the court that handled the original case, with a potential court hearing.

Maine limits sealing to convictions related to marijuana and prostitution — there is no general sealing or expungement path for other conviction types.

Maine unseals your record if you are convicted of any other crime after having had your record sealed.

Maine is considering Clean Slate–type legislation that would seal arrest records and convictions automatically after a waiting period; the bill is not law yet.
