Hamilton County Felony Expungement

Indiana's expungement statute at IC 35-38-9 allows eligible Hamilton County residents to petition the court to seal felony records. Filing fees are waived. Once the court grants expungement, the records are removed from MyCase and the ISP criminal history database. The Hamilton County Clerk's Office handles the expungement order and seals the records accordingly.

Waiting periods depend on the offense. Arrests that did not result in conviction may qualify after one year. Less serious felony convictions have an eight-year waiting period from the date of conviction or release from incarceration. More serious felony convictions require ten years and written approval from the Hamilton County Prosecutor. All fines, fees, and restitution must be paid before filing. Offenses that cannot be expunged include homicide, most sex offenses, and serious violent crimes listed in IC 35-38-9-8.5. For help understanding the process, contact the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac.
