If you were under age 18 at the time of the offense, each case on your record may be eligible for one of two types of expungement:

1. The offense is no longer a crime. Examples of these offenses include:

• disturbing a school assembly

• disorderly conduct by a student

• a first-time low-level misdemeanor (such as trespassing)

• a violation of a city or town law (such as breaking curfew or being in the park after dusk)

• possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana

2. You were arraigned no more than two cases, ever (see tip below if you have more than one charge)

TIP: Because expungement is based on each case separately, you may be able to expunge your record by seeking to expunge the decriminalized offenses first, and then attempting expungement of other cases if only a one or two cases are left on your record.
