Request An Expungement


As long as you are NOT required to be on the Sex Offender Registry, you may request a review to have your name expunged (removed) from the registry once it's been on a certain number of years.


When may I request a review?

How long you have to wait depends on when you were substantiated and your child protection level (if any).
