Indiana Expungement Law Basics
While the expungement law does contain certain exceptions, these general rules apply to most expungements:
• Expungement of Dismissed cases – can be expunged in 1 year (newer cases are often automatically expunged after 60 days)
• Expungement of Misdemeanor convictions – can be expunged 5 years after the date of your last conviction
• Expungement of AMS convictions – can be expunged 5 years after the date of your last conviction
• Expungement of Level 6 felony convictions – can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction
• Expungement of D Felony convictions – can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction
• Expungement of Major felony convictions – Some (but not all) major felony convictions can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction
Remember that these are general rules. For a more detailed look at the rules, it may be helpful to look at the Indiana Expungement Law Guide. You only receive one expungement per lifetime (although this does not apply to cases that have been dismissed). Lastly, it is important to note that while most cases can be sealed (meaning that they are not visible to the public), there are some cases that can be expunged but not sealed.
