- 1). Visit the website of your state or county to obtain the proper paperwork. Criminal records expungement forms are usually available under the "Courts" section of the website. You can also request the paperwork by calling your state or county of residence.
- 2). Complete the forms and mail them to the return address indicated on the website. Wait patiently for a response, which may take months, and check your mail regularly for an appointed court date when you will appear before a judge.
- 3). Prepare an oral or written appeal to present in court as to why you should have your felony conviction expunged. If the judge rules in your favor, your criminal record will be "sealed" and will no longer be accessible to the public, including prospective employers, landlords and such.
