What is an expungement in Rhode Island?

An expungement is a legal procedure that allows eligible individuals the chance to have their records relating to their criminal charges removed, from both public records and those of law enforcement agencies. In order to be eligible to be granted an expungement in Rhode Island, you must be a first time offender who was not convicted of a violent crime, along with having waited out their required time to begin their expungement process. Once your expungement in Rhode Island has been processed and granted, you will be able to publicly state that you have never been convicted of the crime that you expunged.

What is the expungement process?

In order to begin the process of getting an expungement in Rhode Island, you will first need to go to the clerk’s office in which the charge was originally heard. There, you can file to get an expungement free of cost. Then, you will need to mail a copy of the Motion to Expunge to the arresting police department and the Attorney General’s Office. You will follow that up by showing up to your court date that is assigned to you by the clerk’s office. If it is granted at the court date, you will be required to pay $100.00 for the Expungement Order. Lastly, you will mail a copy of your order to the Attorney General’s Office and arresting police department where they will review your file and subsequently remove the charge from your record.
