* 1

Secure a copy of your criminal record. It is this file that perspective employers will likely request when they perform a background check. Depending on your state, your criminal record can likely be requested from a centralized law enforcement agency such as your state's bureau of investigation, or even secured from a number of online resources (see Resources).
* 2

Find an attorney who frequently practices law in the judicial district where the prosecution was filed. This attorney will have a working knowledge of applicable local laws and should also have a relationship with the judicial officials who sit on the bench at local courthouses.
* 3

Visit the office of the court clerk in the jurisdiction where the legal action occurred. Inform the clerk that you wish to file for an expungement with the court and ask for the appropriate form to process the request. Depending on the circumstances of the case and local laws, there may be a filing fee.
* 4

Make sure to request that your record be expunged from all police and court records in your state and local government entities as well.
* 5

Check to see if the local law allows for your fingerprints and DNA records to also be removed from state government databases.
