How to Expunge Your Criminal and/or Juvenile

Record

What is an Expungement?

An expungement is the removal and isolation of all records on file within any court,

detention or correctional facility, law enforcement, criminal justice agency or juvenile justice

agency concerning a person's apprehension, arrest, detention, trial or disposition of an

offense within the criminal or juvenile justice system. Unless otherwise provided by law, if

an order for expungement is granted, the adult arrest, the record of law enforcement taking

you into custody as a juvenile, conviction, adjudication of delinquency, disposition and any

related proceedings are considered not to have occurred. See the section on Comparison of

Adult and Juvenile Terms for a glossary of terms that are specific to juvenile court.

The New Jersey expungement law states in detail who is eligible for an expungement. You

should review the current applicable provisions of N.J.S.A. 2C:52-1 through

N.J.S.A. 2C:52-32 to determine if you are eligible. An eligible person must prepare and file a

Petition for Expungement. The Petition for Expungement must be filed in the Superior Court

in the county where the arrest or prosecution took place. A judge then decides whether the

person should be granted an Expungement Order.

In general, these materials provide basic information about how to file a Petition for

Expungement. These materials do not provide specific advice about a particular legal

problem that you may have, and they are not a substitute for seeing a lawyer. If you

encounter a problem, or are in doubt as to whether you need a lawyer, talk to one.

NOTE: These materials have been prepared by the New Jersey Administrative Office of the

Courts for use by self-represented litigants. The guide, instructions, and forms will be

periodically updated as necessary to reflect current New Jersey statutes and court rules. The

most recent version of the forms will be available at the county courthouse or on the

Judiciary's Internet site (njcourts.com/prose/index.htm). However, you are ultimately

responsible for the content of your court papers.

Acknowledgment: The New Jersey Judiciary would like to acknowledge Legal Services of New Jersey for

allowing us to modify their expungement guide. The work that you see in this Pro Se Expungement Package is

largely a product of their efforts.

Things to Think About Before You Represent Yourself in Court

Try to Get a Lawyer

The court system can be confusing, and it is

a good idea to get a lawyer if you can. If

you cannot afford a lawyer, you may wish to

contact the legal services program in your

county to see if you qualify for free legal

services. Their telephone number can be

found in your local yellow pages under

Legal Aid or Legal Services.

If you do not qualify for free legal services

and need help in locating an attorney, you

can contact the bar association in your

county. Their telephone number can also be

found in your local yellow pages. Most

county bar associations have a lawyer

referral service. The county bar lawyer

referral service can supply you with the

names of attorneys in your area who usually

are willing to handle your particular type of

case. Such attorneys are sometimes willing

to consult with people in your situation at a

reduced fee.

There are also a variety of organizations of

minority lawyers throughout New Jersey, as

well as organizations of lawyers who handle

specialized types of cases. Ask your county

court staff for a list of lawyer referral

services that include these organizations.

Keep Copies of All Papers

Make and keep for yourself copies of all

completed forms and any canceled checks,

money orders, sales receipts, bills, contract

estimates, letters, leases, photographs and

other important documents that relate to your

case.

What You Should Expect If You

Represent Yourself

While you have the right to represent

yourself in court, you should not expect any

special treatment, help, or attention from the

court. You must still comply with the rules

of the court, even if you are not familiar with

them. The following is a list of some things

the court staff can and cannot do for you.

Please read it carefully before asking the

court staff for help.

 We can explain and answer questions

about how the court works.

 We can tell you what the requirements

are to have your case considered by the

court.

 We can give you some information from

your case file.

 We can provide you with samples of

court forms that are available.

 We can provide you with guidance on

how to fill out forms.

 We can usually answer questions about

court deadlines.

 We cannot give you legal advice. Only

your lawyer can give you legal advice.

 We cannot tell you whether or not you

should bring your case to court.

 We cannot give you an opinion about

what will happen if you bring your case

to court.

 We cannot recommend a lawyer, but we

can provide you with the telephone

number of a local lawyer referral

service.

 We cannot talk to the judge for you

about what will happen in your case.

 We cannot let you talk to the judge

outside of court.

 We cannot change an order issued by a

judge.

Comparison of Adult and Juvenile Terms

The table below compares commonly understood criminal terms to terms specific to juvenile

delinquency matters. Juvenile delinquency matters should not be considered the same as adult

criminal actions. The process for expunging juvenile records, however, is the same as that for

expunging adult criminal matters. In fact, if you have both adult and juvenile records that you

wish to expunge, you should include all matters in your expungement petition.

Criminal Term

Juvenile Term

Arrest

Taking juvenile into custody

Conviction

Adjudication of delinquency

Sentence

Disposition

Indictment

No equivalent - A juvenile is charged with an offense

without an indictment process

Jail, prison or incarceration

Secure facility, youth house or detention center or juvenile

justice institution (specific names may vary)

Pretrial intervention program

Diversion - Juvenile Conference Committee or Intake

Services Conference

Glossary of Terms

Deferred Disposition:

In a deferred disposition, the court adjudicates the juvenile delinquent

and sets forth conditions for the juvenile to meet. If the juvenile

meets the terms of those conditions, then the disposition will be

dismissed pursuant to the court's order.

Diversion:

A diversion is the process of removing minor juvenile cases from the

full judicial process on the condition that the accused participates

successfully in a rehabilitative process, such as a juvenile conference

committee or a juvenile intake conference. If conditions entered into

by these diversions are met, then it results in a dismissal of the case,

and no appearance before a judge is required.

Indictable Offense:

A criminal offense that includes first, second, third and fourth degree

crimes. An indictable offense does not include disorderly persons,

petty disorderly persons or municipal ordinance violations.

How to File for an Order to Expunge Your Criminal and/or Juvenile

Record

Locate Your Records

In order to prepare your expungement

petition and prove your eligibility, you will

need to get the following information:

 The date of your arrest as an adult or

when you were taken into custody as

a juvenile.

 The statute(s) and the offense(s) for

which you were arrested, taken into

custody as a juvenile, convicted or

adjudicated delinquent.

 The original indictment, accusation,

summons, docket number, warrant

number or complaint number.

Include all, if more than one.

 The date of the disposition, which

could be the date of the conviction or

adjudication of delinquency, date of

not guilty verdict or date of

dismissal.

 The specific punishment or other

disposition.

If you had an attorney when you were

arrested as an adult and/or taken into

custody as a juvenile and charged, check

first to see if he or she has this information

in your case file; if so, this can save you

quite a bit of time.

If you must locate your records on your own

for an indictable/criminal conviction or

arrest, contact the Superior Court Criminal

Case Management Office in the county

where the arrest or conviction occurred and

they will advise you how copies of those

records can be obtained. A list of county

Criminal Case Management Offices appears

at the end of this guide.

If you must locate your records on your own

for a juvenile delinquency matter, contact

the Superior Court Family Division Office

in the county where you were taken into

custody as a juvenile, where charges were

filed, or where the adjudication occurred,

and they will advise you how copies of those

records can be obtained. A list of county

Family Division Offices appears at the end

of this guide.

If you were taken into custody as a juvenile

and no charges were filed against you, you

must contact the appropriate law

enforcement agency for information related

to that incident.

You might also contact the county

prosecutor. A list of county prosecutors'

offices with addresses and telephone

numbers appears at the end of this guide.

Explain that you are interested in expunging

your records and ask for the information

listed above, or ask to look at your file if this

is permitted. You may also be able to find

information you need on disorderly persons

offenses by contacting the clerk of the

municipal court(s) in which you were

prosecuted, or the police department

involved in your arrest(s) as an adult or that

took you into custody as a juvenile. If you

cannot get all of the information, you need

to follow Step 1 on the next page.

The numbered steps that follow explain

what forms you will need to fill out and

what to do with them. Specific directions on

filling out each form appear before each of

the attached forms. Follow these directions

carefully. Each form should be typed or

clearly printed on 8 ½ " x 11" white paper

only. Forms may not be filed on a different

size or color paper.

Kit Revised: 04/2009, CN 10557 (How to Expunge Your Criminal and/or Juvenile Record) page 5 of 34

Step 1: Request State Police Criminal

History Record – Fingerprint Check

This step is only necessary if you do not

already have your criminal/juvenile history

information about your arrests, charges and

dispositions.

In order to obtain your criminal/juvenile

history record (also known as a rap sheet)

from the New Jersey State Police you will

need to be fingerprinted. The State Police

use the electronic fingerprint scanning

services of a private company, Sagem

Morpho, Inc. You will need to contact

Sagem Morpho, Inc. to schedule an

appointment for fingerprinting. You can

obtain additional information and schedule

an appointment via the internet at

bioapplicant.com/nj, or by calling their toll

free telephone: 1-877-503-5981.

Additional information about obtaining

criminal/juvenile history record checks can

also be obtained from the New Jersey State

Police website

njsp.org/about/serv_chrc.html, or by calling

their Criminal Information Unit at

609-882-2000 ext. 2918.

Note: The State Police will have a

criminal/juvenile history only if you were

fingerprinted when you were arrested. If

you were not fingerprinted, and only a

complaint was signed against you when you

were arrested, you will still have a record

with the police department and the court, but

you will not have a record sheet within the

Division of State Police, State Bureau of

Investigation.

Step 2: Complete These Forms

Form A - Petition For Expungement

The Petition for Expungement states that

you are requesting an Expungement Order

and states why you qualify. Complete the

Petition for Expungement Order by

following the instructions for Form A.

You must then file the petition in the county

where you were arrested as an adult or taken

into custody as a juvenile. If you were

arrested as an adult or taken into custody as

a juvenile in more than one county, contact

the Criminal Case Management Office in

either county and ask whether they will

allow you to file for expungement of your

entire record in that county.

Next, you must complete the Verification

page and sign it in the presence of a Notary

Public because this page must bear a notary

seal.

Form B - Order For Hearing

The Order for Hearing is used by the judge

to schedule a hearing. The Superior Court

judge assigned to your case will usually

schedule a hearing between 35 and 60 days

after he or she gets your petition. Fill out

the Order for Hearing by following the

instructions for Form B.

Form C - Expungement Order

The Expungement Order is the official

document that will be signed by the judge if

your Petition for Expungement is granted.

Complete the Expungement Order by

following the instructions for Form C.

Kit Revised: 04/2009, CN 10557 (How to Expunge Your Criminal and/or Juvenile Record) page 6 of 34

Step 3: File and Serve the Forms

Make three (3) copies of your notarized

Petition for Expungement (Form A), Order

for Hearing (Form B), and proposed

Expungement Order (Form C). The original

and two (2) copies should be filed with the

court. Keep one copy of each for your

records.

Form D - Cover Letter

The Cover Letter is a form letter that

describes to the Superior Court Criminal

Case Management Office the contents of

your package and the purpose of the

enclosed forms. Fill in the blanks on the

Cover Letter (Form D) and attach the Cover

Letter to the originals and the two

photocopies that you are filing (keep one

copy of each for your records). Include two

large self-addressed envelopes with the

appropriate postage stamped on each

envelope. These envelopes will be used to

send filed copies of your package back to

you. Mail this package to the Criminal Case

Management Office in the county where the

arrest and/or prosecution occurred. If you

prefer, you may file this package in person.

A list of the Criminal Case Management

Offices where these forms should be mailed,

along with telephone numbers, appears at

the end of this guide.

There is a filing fee of $52.50. Most offices

do not accept personal checks, so you should

include a money order or certified check

made out to the Treasurer, State of N.J.

Step 4: Distributing the Filed Copies

One copy of the Petition for Expungement,

Order for Hearing, and the proposed

Expungement Order will be mailed back to

you marked “Filed” and assigned a “Docket

Number.” The Order for Hearing will also

state the time and the date for your hearing.

Immediately after receiving the filed copies

from the court, make at least seven (7)

copies of the Petition for Expungement,

Order for Hearing, and the proposed

Expungement Order.

Mail one copy of each, immediately, by

certified mail, return receipt requested, to

each of the following government agencies

that were involved with your case(s):

 The Attorney General of New Jersey.

 The Superintendent of State Police,

Expungement Unit.

 The County Prosecutor.

 The Clerk of the municipal court if a

municipal court heard the matter.

 The Chief of Police or other head of

the police department where the

offense was committed or the arrest

was made.

 The chief law enforcement officer of

any other law enforcement agency of

the state that participated in the

arrest.

 The Warden or superintendent of any

institution in which you were

incarcerated.

 The County Probation Division

should be provided a copy if you

were granted a conditional discharge,

enrolled into the Pretrial Intervention

Program, enrolled in a juvenile

diversion program (juvenile

conference committee or intake

service conference), granted a

deferred disposition, performed

community service, owed fines or

restitution or you served a term of

probation.

 The Division of Criminal Justice,

Records and Identification Unit

should be provided a copy if your

case was processed through the State

Grand Jury.

 The County Family Division should

be provided a copy if you are

requesting the expungement of any

juvenile delinquency matters.

Kit Revised: 04/2009, CN 10557 (How to Expunge Your Criminal and/or Juvenile Record) page 7 of 34

Step 4: Continued

Form E - Cover Letter

You may use the Cover Letter (Form E)

when mailing the copies to these agencies.

Fill in the blanks on the Cover Letter (Form

E) and attach the Cover Letter to each set of

copies.

You should mail the copies of these forms

right away, because the law requires

service or mailing within five (5) days

from the date that the Order for Hearing

was signed. Mail them at the post office,

by certified mail, return receipt

requested.

Form F - Proof of Notice

After you have received the certified mail

return receipt cards back from the post

office, contact the Criminal Case

Management Office, and ask the clerk

whether the court requires that the proof of

mailing be submitted at or prior to the

hearing. If proof is required to be produced

at the hearing, make sure that you bring the

green certified mail return receipt cards and

the Proof of Notice (Form F) to court with

you on the day of the hearing. Complete the

Proof of Notice form by following the

instructions for Form F. If proof is required

to be submitted prior to the hearing make

sure that you bring or mail the green

certified mail return receipt cards and the

Proof of Notice (Form F) to the Criminal

Case Management Office immediately. If

you choose to mail this information to the

court, you should send it by certified mail,

return receipt requested.

Step 5: Go to the Hearing

Arrive at the court on your assigned hearing

date about 15 minutes early. (Not all

counties require you to appear for the

hearing. If your appearance is not required,

you must mail the Proof of Notice and the

green return receipt cards to the Criminal

Case Management office where you filed

your petition, at least one week before the

scheduled hearing.)

If you are required to appear, take your

copies of the filed Petition for Expungement,

the Expungement Order, and the green

return receipt cards to the hearing (unless

you previously filed them with the court).

When you arrive at the court, tell the court

clerk that you are there.

If any law enforcement officers object to the

expungement, they will tell the judge the

reason. The judge may ask you some

questions and will decide whether to grant

or deny you an expungement. If there is no

opposition, the judge will, in most cases,

grant your expungement.

If no law enforcement officers object to the

expungement, the court may order the

expungement of your records without a

hearing. If this happens, you will receive a

signed and filed Expungement Order in the

mail.

It is a good practice to call the court the day

before the hearing to confirm that it is still

on the court's calendar.

Kit Revised: 04/2009, CN 10557 (How to Expunge Your Criminal and/or Juvenile Record) page 8 of 34

Step 6: Distribute Your Finalized

Expungement Order

Immediately after you receive a copy of the

Expungement Order signed by the judge and

stamped "Filed" by the court, mail a copy of

the Expungement Order, by certified mail,

return receipt requested, to each of the

following:

 The Attorney General of New Jersey.

 The Superintendent of State Police,

Expungement Unit.

 The County Prosecutor.

 The Clerk of the municipal court if a

municipal court heard the matter.

 The Chief of Police or other head of

the police department where the

offense was committed or the arrest

was made.

 The chief law enforcement officer of

any other law enforcement agency of

the state that participated in the

arrest.

 The Warden or superintendent of any

institution in which you were

incarcerated.

 The Records Division of any

institution in which you were

incarcerated.

 The Identification Bureau in the

county where the arrest was made or

where you were incarcerated (a list

of County Identification Bureaus

appears at the end of this guide).

 The County Probation Division

should be provided a copy if you

were granted a conditional discharge,

enrolled into the Pretrial Intervention

Program, enrolled in a juvenile

diversion program (juvenile

conference committee or intake

service conference), granted a

deferred disposition, performed

community service, owed fines or

restitution or you served a term of

probation.

Step 6: Continued

 The Division of Criminal Justice,

Records and Identification Unit

should be provided a copy if your

case was processed through the State

Grand Jury

 The County Family Division should

be provided a copy if you are

requesting the expungement of any

juvenile delinquency matters.

Form G - Cover Letter

You may use this Cover Letter (Form G)

when mailing the Expungement Order to

these agencies. Fill in the blanks on the

Cover Letter (Form G) and attach the Cover

Letter to each set of copies.

Keep the mailing receipts and the green

cards that are returned to you as proof that

the documents were received.

In Conclusion

As a final reminder, make sure that you have

completely followed all of the steps required

in this guide. This is very important because

even though your records may be eligible

for expungement, if you miss any of the

required steps, your Petition for

Expungement may be denied. In that case,

you will have to start over.

We have tried to explain as simply as

possible the steps to get your records

expunged. The forms that you can use are in
