How to Get Felonies Taken Off Your Record in Colorado
- 1). Obtain documentation of your criminal record. This can be done by providing your case number to the county's court clerk office.
- 2). If your crime was committed as an adult, fill out forms JDF 417 (petition to seal arrest and criminal records) and JDF 418 (order to seal arrest and criminal records). If your crime was committed as a juvenile, fill out forms JDF 302 (petition for expungement of records), JDF 303 (notice of hearing on petition for expungement) and JDF 304 (order of expungement of records). These forms are accessible at your local courthouse or online.
- 3). File the petition with the court. You will need to pay a fee to file the petition. You will then wait to be scheduled for a hearing where a judge will decide your case.
