Clear your West Virginia record.

You can clear your West Virginia record. West Virginia law lets you expunge certain arrest and dismissal records under W. Va. Code § 61-11-25, expunge certain criminal convictions under W. Va. Code § 61-11-26, and expunge convictions completed through approved treatment or recovery and job programs under W. Va. Code § 61-11-26a — subject to the motor-vehicle traffic-offense carve-out at W. Va. Code § 61-11-26b. The petition-based path uses a petition filed in the court that handled the original case and may involve a court hearing.
