What Does Our Expungement Service Cost?

One straightforward, all-inclusive fee. No hidden costs. No surprise charges. Everything needed to evaluate, prepare, and lodge an expungement application — included from the start.

At Clear Criminal Record, we believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing. We understand that navigating the expungement process can feel uncertain, and the last thing anyone needs is unexpected costs along the way. That is why we offer a single, all-inclusive fee that covers every stage of the process.

All-Inclusive Fee
R2,500
Once-off payment · No recurring charges


Preparing All Documentation
Compilation of the complete expungement application, including all required forms, supporting documents, and the formal legal motivation.

Lodging Documentation in Person
Physical submission of the application to the relevant government authority. We lodge the documentation in person to ensure it is received and processed correctly — no postal delays or lost paperwork.

Individual Proof of Lodgement
Each application receives a unique reference number upon lodgement. We obtain and provide proof of submission, so there is a documented record that the application has been formally received by the authority.

Ongoing Follow-Ups
We actively monitor and follow up on the application's progress with the relevant department. Applicants are kept informed of any developments throughout the process until finalisation.

30 Years of Experience
Every application is handled with the benefit of three decades of legal experience — understanding the legislation, the procedures, and the practical realities of working with government departments.


Free Assessment   
A thorough evaluation of the criminal record to determine eligibility for expungement under the applicable legislation, at no cost or obligation, before you commit.






Why Transparent Pricing Matters

The expungement process involves multiple stages, from obtaining the criminal record through to final confirmation from the government department. Some service providers charge separately for each stage — an assessment fee here, a preparation fee there, additional charges for follow-ups or resubmissions.At Clear Criminal Record, the R2,500 fee covers the entire process from start to finish. There are no separate charges for individual steps, no administration fees, and no unexpected invoices along the way. This approach allows applicants to commit to the process with complete clarity on cost.

Please NoteThe all-inclusive fee covers our professional service in full. It does not cover the cost of obtaining the criminal record itself (for example, fees charged by HURU or SAPS for a criminal record check or police clearance report), as these are third-party charges that are paid directly to the relevant provider. We provide clear guidance on how to obtain a criminal record and the associated costs.

How to Get Started

The process begins with a free, no-obligation assessment. Simply provide us with a copy of your criminal record, and we will evaluate your eligibility for expungement and explain the process, expected timeframes, and what is involved. If you do not yet have a copy of your criminal record, we will guide you through the steps to obtain one.

Once you have received your assessment and decide to proceed, the all-inclusive fee of R2,500 covers everything from that point forward — documentation, lodgement, proof of submission, and ongoing follow-ups until the matter is finalised.
