While it is technically possible to apply for expungement independently, the process involves navigating legislation, correctly interpreting criminal record information, preparing a legally sound application, and ensuring all documentation meets the exact requirements of the receiving authority.
Errors in applications – including incorrect classification of offences, miscalculation of waiting periods, or incomplete documentation – can result in delays or outright rejection. Professional assistance helps to avoid these common pitfalls and significantly increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Clear Criminal Record has developed a thorough understanding of the expungement legislation, the administrative procedures of the relevant government departments, and the practical realities of how applications are processed. This experience is applied to every case we handle.
