Criminal Record Expungement in Wagoner County
Oklahoma law allows people with criminal records to seek expungement in certain cases. Under Title 22 O.S. Section 18, those acquitted, who had charges dismissed, or who received a pardon can file to have records sealed. Misdemeanor convictions with fines under $501 have no wait period. Other misdemeanors need a 5-year wait. A single non-violent felony requires 5 years after the sentence ends.
To begin, file a petition in the Wagoner County District Court. Filing fees range from $150 to $250. You also need an OSBI criminal history report at $15. Once the court grants the order, OSBI charges $150 to process it. The petition must be served on the District Attorney, the arresting agency, and OSBI. For deferred sentences, the rules are a bit different. Under Title 22 O.S. Section 991(c), records from a deferred sentence are sealed once the person finishes all probation conditions.
