You cannot. Although there IS legislation and a procedure in place to allow federal felons to petition to have their federal criminal records expunged, Congress has consistently refused to appropriate any monies to fund this program. Therefore, although it exists, it is inoperable.

Will a pardon take a felony off you record?
A pardon does not erase or remove a felony conviction from your record.

How do you erase you felony records as an adult?
The answer to this will vary depending on what state your conviction record is in. Please be specific when asking questions. Many states allow a felony to be removed from a person's record. Each state has their own procedure and eligibility requirements for expungement of convictions. Accordingly, I would need to know what state your conviction was to answer your question. In general, the process involves petitioning the court where you were convicted and demonstrating that you meet the legal requirements or standards necessary to have your record cleared. If your conviction was in federal court, you cannot have your conviction expunged. However, some states, such as Arizona, will allow you to petition to have all of your civil rights and gun rights restored after a federal conviction. Most counties have a public defender's or legal aid office that will file a petition for record clearance (expungement, vacating, setting-aside, sealing, or whatever it is called in your state) for free-- though most public defenders have a low-income requirement. They may also have packets on how to do it yourself. If you have financial means, I would highly recommend having an attorney handle it for you. However, there are many others. If you are paying someone, just make sure they are licensed attorneys who have experience clearing records. Many attorneys will give a money back guarantee. Also, if you have convictions in multiple states, make sure your attorney understands the record clearing laws in both states because proceeding in the wrong order could cost you your eligibility in one of the states. In other terms you have a zero out of none chance because it will stay on your record for your whole life it also depends what you did and if you won the case then you are good and you don't have a felony record also keep in mind that you have to have one of the best lawyers. *linda*
