Petition To Expunge Or Seal Criminal History {200-00130}

200-00130 - PETITION TO EXPUNGE OR SEAL CRIMINAL HISTORY. This form is used in the Criminal Division of the Vermont Superior Court by individuals seeking to remove or restrict access to their criminal records. The person filing the petition—typically a defendant—requests that the court either expunge (permanently destroy) or seal (restrict public access to) records related to specific criminal charges or convictions. The form requires the petitioner to list the offenses they want expunged or sealed, including the year of the offense and the docket number, if available. If convicted, the petitioner must provide additional details such as the date of conviction, whether they completed probation, and whether court-ordered restitution has been paid. If there was no conviction, the form asks for information about the arrest and why the case did not proceed in court. The petitioner must also disclose any new charges or convictions since the original offense and explain why expungement or sealing would serve the interests of justice. Lastly, the form allows the petitioner to consent to receive court-related documents via email and must be signed and submitted to the court and the State’s Attorney or Attorney General’s Office. www.FormsWorkflow.com
