PRACTICE TIP

Be certain to clear the "cache" on your computer so that your Internet Browser will load the most current forms published by the AOC. In some counties, including Wake, the Clerk's office requires the new forms.

Following the steps above should get you to the correct set of Forms for petitioning the NC Court to expunge your record. Be aware there are very well-written instructions for each of the Forms available for free download, but also be aware that these forms are, as they say, "only as good as the person filling them out." Advertising services in the expunction arena has exploded in recent years as the laws have expanded to provide relief to more and more defendants. However, just because the forms are easily available, the process is not easy. The laws remain complex and using them in a way to most effectively help a given situation remains challenging for the inexperienced. Consider hiring a licensed NC attorney to assist you with the process.

A quick note about terminology. The following terms are used somewhat interchangeably in the materials and practice of this area of the law:

Expunge
Expungement
Expunction
