The Maryland General Waiver and Release is a legal document used in the state of Maryland for individuals seeking to expunge records from their criminal history. The document is also referred to as an “expungement waiver” and is used to waive any and all rights to challenge the expungement of the records. There are two different types of Maryland General Waiver and Release — for use with expungements: the Standard Waiver and Release and the Reduced Waiver and Release. The Standard Waiver and Release requires the individual to waive all rights to appeal the expungement, while the Reduced Waiver and Release allows the individual to retain the right to appeal the expungement. The document also requires the individual to affirm that they are aware of and understand the consequences of the expungement. Additionally, it requires the individual to certify that all information provided to the court is accurate and truthful. Once the Maryland General Waiver and Release — for use with expungements is signed and submitted, the individual's criminal records will be expunged and the individual's criminal history will be cleared.
