Criminal Record Expungement in Caddo County
If you have a criminal record in Caddo County, you may be able to get it sealed. Oklahoma law allows expungement for certain offenses. Under Title 22 O.S. Section 18, people who were acquitted, had charges dismissed, or received a pardon can petition to have their records sealed. Misdemeanor convictions with fines under $501 have no waiting period. Other misdemeanors require a 5-year wait. A single non-violent felony needs 5 years after the sentence ends.
The process starts with filing a petition in the Caddo County District Court. Filing fees range from $150 to $250. You also need an OSBI criminal history report, which costs $15, and the OSBI charges $150 to process the expungement once the court grants it. The petition must be served on the District Attorney, the arresting agency, and the OSBI. Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma can help low-income residents with the expungement process at no charge.
Deferred sentences get a different treatment. Under Title 22 O.S. Section 991(c), records from a deferred sentence are sealed once the person finishes all conditions of probation. The court dismisses the charge and orders the record expunged from the public docket.
