Oklahoma Procedures for Sealing Record refer to the legal process of sealing court records to protect a person's reputation and privacy. In Oklahoma, there are two types of record sealing procedures: expungement and non-expungement. Expungement is the complete destruction of criminal records and is available for certain convictions or misdemeanors. The applicant must demonstrate they have been rehabilitated and can demonstrate they are not a risk to public safety. Non-expungement is also known as sealing and is available for all types of criminal convictions. Non-expungement is the process of sealing court records from public view, but the records are not destroyed and can still be accessed by certain authorized individuals. In order to apply for record sealing, applicants must meet certain criteria, including: they have been convicted of certain misdemeanors or felonies, there are now pending criminal charges, they have no prior record sealing convictions, and they have no convictions for violent offenses. Applicants must also complete an application, provide supporting documentation, and pay any applicable fees. The application is then submitted to the court for review and a judge will decide whether to grant the record sealing. If approved, the court will issue an order to seal the records and the applicant's criminal record will be sealed from public view.
