To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON!

Every state has laws regarding expunction of records. Generally a record is expunged if the charges are dismissed. If a person has been convicted of a crime he cannot have the case expunged, but perhaps sealed (meaning that the public cannot see the case and the Defendant can legally deny the existence of the case) if the person was not adjudicated guilty (meaning officially declared guilty as opposed to a judge withholding adjudication of the case).
