Missouri Petition For Expungement — Section 610.140RSMmo., is a legal process that provides individuals with the opportunity to petition the court to have criminal records cleared or sealed. This process is available for individuals who have been arrested, but not convicted, so that the arrest does not appear on their criminal record. There are two types of expungement petitions available in Missouri: Standard Expungement and Expungement of Misdemeanor and Non-Violent Felony Records. The Standard Expungement petition is available for individuals who have been arrested but not convicted, while the Expungement of Misdemeanor and Non-Violent Felony Records petition is available for individuals who have been convicted of certain types of misdemeanors or non-violent felonies. In order to be eligible for either of these expungement petitions, the individual must meet certain criteria, such as the length of time since the arrest or conviction, and must provide evidence to the court of their rehabilitation and good moral character.
