About clearing a record in Rhode Island

You can clear your Rhode Island record. Rhode Island law lets you expunge certain arrest records and certain convictions under R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 12-1.3-1 to 12-1.3-5, and seal records of arrests that ended in acquittal or other exoneration under R.I. Gen. Laws § 12-1-12 and R.I. Gen. Laws § 12-1-12.1. The process uses a petition filed with the court that handled the case and may involve a court hearing.

Rhode Island limits expungement to people with fewer than six misdemeanor convictions and no more than one felony conviction on their record.
