Division I- Expungements: The conviction will be expunged as a matter of law if: 8 or more years have passed since the date of the conviction. There are no pending criminal charges against the defendant. All court costs, fees, fines and restitution have been paid.

You can apply for an expungement of an eligible misdemeanor conviction only after eight years have passed since your conviction date, and you have paid all fines, fees, and restitution associated with the conviction. You may only have one misdemeanor conviction expunged.

As of July 1, 2019, a person who was convicted of any simple misdemeanor with the exception of domestic abuse assault and driving offenses under Iowa Code Section 321 and 321J can have the conviction expunged or dismissed off of their criminal record.
If you have a case where you were found not guilty of all charges or all charges were dismissed, you normally must wait six months before expungement, but this requirement may be waived in special circumstances. Additionally, you must have paid all court costs, fees, and financial obligations on the case.
You can apply to an expungement of a conviction relating to public intoxication or consumption two years after your date of conviction. To be eligible, you must not have any other convictions during those two years other than traffic violations or simple misdemeanor traffic violations.
