About clearing a record in Michigan

You can clear your Michigan record. Michigan law lets you petition to set aside certain convictions under MCL § 780.621, and Michigan runs an automated Clean Slate process that sets aside qualifying records without a petition. The petition path uses an application filed with the court that handled the original case, with a potential court hearing.

Michigan automatically sets aside an indefinite number of misdemeanors punishable by less than 93 days imprisonment, up to four misdemeanors punishable by 93 days or more imprisonment, and up to two felonies.

Michigan requires a three-year waiting period before you may refile an application to set aside a conviction if your first application is denied.
