FAQ
On January 1, 2023, A.R.S. Section 13-911 went into effect, which allows for certain individuals with criminal records to seal those records from public view. Previously, Arizona only allowed conviction “set-asides” but not expungements or record sealings.
A Certificate of Second Chance allows a person whose conviction has been set aside to obtain benefits that they may not be able to obtain if they have a conviction.
Arizona does not expunge criminal convictions. Instead, Arizona allows a court to set aside a judgment, where a criminal conviction still exists on a person's record, but the penalties associated with the conviction have been released.
This law created Arizona Revised Statute 13-911 – the state's first record-sealing law. ARS 13-911 states that an individual can file a petition to have his or her case records related to a criminal offense sealed if he or she meets certain conditions.
When a court sets aside a conviction, it dismisses the conviction, the penalties are dismissed, and disabilities are vacated.
There is no way to expunge a record in Arizona. The best you can do is ask the Judge for a set aside. A set aside dismisses the original complaint, it is a form of judicial forgiveness. Contact a criminal defense attorney to discuss particulars.
ARS § 13-911 This law went into effect on January 1, 2023, and can enable thousands of citizens in Arizona to have their records sealed rather than only set aside. This comes with the advantage of erasing it entirely from public view.
