You cannot have a felony nor any other crime expunged in Maryland if you are found to be or pleaded guilty. It stays on your record forever unless you are granted a full pardon by the Governor of Maryland. Pardons can be requested by the Parole Commissioner's Office:

∙ 13y agoIf you were found guilty or took a plea, you cannot get it expunged at all. The only way is to apply for a pardon.
However, if you were acquitted, the charges were dropped ("Nolle prosequi"), the case was placed on stet docket, the case was transferred to juvenile court, or you received Probation Before Judgment, you may be eligible for having the charge expunged.

∙ 15y agoTo request an expungement: You must have served the complete term of your sentence - then submit a petition to the court setting forth good 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! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being viewed by the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your complete 'actual' record. If you were convicted of a felony crime, (unless you are a resident of a state which completely restores your "rights"), tor legal purposes, your status will still remain that of a 'convicted felon' and you remain subject to any restrictions that status places upon you (voting rights - privilege of holding elective office - gun possession - etc).
