If you were never convicted or the case was dropped how do you get an arrest off your record?

Answer 1

Answer: Go to the court house have your case number on you ... ask the clerk about Expungement. There is a fee from $40-100 depending on state to state. It takes from 60-80 days for your record to be cleared It depends on the jurisdiction, and it also depends on how far into the criminal process the case has gone, and what the rest of your criminal record is, was or is recorded.* It's always good to have a case number; clerks are good at finding things, but it helps to have numbers: that's the way cases are filed, unless they are active, then so much paper flows that a clerk or assistant can sort of find the case, because it is like stuff on the top of a desk: daily and you just know where it is. Otherwise, always have a number, dates, the names of the parties. As for going to the Clerk of the Superior Court, or what ever the trial level of your latest jurisdiction is, well, that's is a good place to start; it's helpful to know what your case is about, and unless you are a lawyer hired to do all the stuff mentioned here in which case, this would have already been done, you'd already be sure what you are talking about. Seeing the case is a major start. Reading what the prosecution has to say is next best to being able to find the case. Really, your notion of the case, at this time is really sort of incedential.* [TEMPORARY INTERUPTION! DAY JOB TO WORK ON! LATER.] * just because you think that you are wonderful and pure, the great computer in the sky, might not have the same data, that is, you could be described as a leatherface, on the side; sort of like credit reports, it might not be up to date.

Answer 2

You can't get the arrest removed because it actually happened. However, a conviction will not show up on your record because you weren't convicted.
