How to Apply for an Expungement


To determine whether you are eligible for an expungement under 11 Del. Code § 4371 – 4375, you must contact the State Bureau of Identification (SBI). If you are eligible, SBI will provide you with a letter with further instructions. If you are not eligible, you will be directed to apply for a pardon.

Juvenile convictions are considered to be adjudications of delinquency rather than “convictions” and therefore, may be expunged absent any adult convictions. Also, see 10 Del. Code. §1025.
