Expungement in California can be obtained under PC 1203.4, PC 1203.4a, or PC 1203.41 for various reasons such as deferred judgement, completion of requirements for a deferred judgement, or dismissed charges. Arrest records may be automatically sealed if no history of child abuse, domestic violence, or elder abuse is present. Eligibility for expungement of an infraction or misdemeanor depends on the penalty and status of probation. Early termination of probation may be requested for ongoing probation to then file for expungement. Convictions for “wobblers” or crimes without state prison sentence, and felonies with probation or county jail sentence, may be eligible for expungement.
