Expungements/Sealing of Record


You may file a sealing of record/expungement of a criminal misdemeanor case one year after final discharge. You may file a sealing of record/expungement of a criminal minor misdemeanor case six months after final discharge. However, if your case was dismissed/not guilty finding there's no waiting period to file. Traffic records cannot be sealed/expunged. There is a $50 filing fee to file for a sealing of record/expungement if you were convicted. There is no charge if the case was dismissed/not guilty finding.

If you would like to take additional steps to have your record removed from private companies who provide the information for private background checks, Montgomery County Clerk of Courts is partnering with the National Expungement Database Center (NEDC) to provide this service. There is a fee for this service payable to the NEDC. Visit their website for more information. Please note that Montgomery County Clerk of Courts is only providing this information as a resource for customers. Any questions or follow up on the outcome or effectiveness of this service must be directed to NEDC at 1-877-604-2164.
