What documentation do I need to gather to start my petition to expunge or seal my domestic violence charge?

To start your petition, you’ll need accurate and complete information about your case. This typically includes:

• Certified copies of your case records – including the complaint or indictment, court disposition, and sentencing order (if applicable).
• Arrest records – from the arresting police department or law enforcement agency.
• Proof of program completion – if you completed court supervision, counseling, or a diversion program.
• Photo ID – such as a driver’s license or state-issued ID for filing purposes.
