What is an expungement?

An expungement is the sealing, removal, or destruction of records related to a past criminal case.

What records can be expunged?

Under Idaho law, most convictions, charges, or arrests from when you were under age 18 can qualify for expungement. However, certain more serious crimes cannot be expunged, such as: murder, voluntary manslaughter, rape, arson, aggravated battery, drug trafficking, or injury to a child.
