If you expunged a Class-D felony, the prosecutor's office can keep a nonpublic copy of your record for law enforcement purposes only. Your conviction, dismissal, or acquittal is erased and will not show up on any state background check.

If you were charged with a felony in district court and have not been indicted, you can file to ask for an expungement after 6 months. There is no filing fee. You fill out a Petition for Expungement ( ) in the court where your case was dismissed.

You cannot have any misdemeanor or felony convictions on your record for the five years before you apply for expungement. You must wait five years after you complete your sentence, pay any fines or fees, or complete probation, whichever is later.

Answer: File the appropriate petition for expungement with the Office of Circuit Court Clerk in the county where the original charge was filed. The petition must be filed before the certification expires in 30 days. The Administrative Office of the Courts is prohibited from providing legal advice.

Expungement Costs If the charge was dismissed or found not guilty, there are no additional court costs. If you are attempting to expunge a misdemeanor conviction, all Kentucky Courts charge $100.00. If you are attempting to expungement a felony conviction, all Kentucky Courts charge $500.00.

If you obtain a pardon for your conviction by the Kentucky Governor or President of the United States, your firearm rights may be restored. Under the new expungement laws, those convicted of Class D felonies may be eligible for restoration of firearm rights.
