Georgia Record Restriction

Restrict your Georgia criminal record — check eligibility free

Georgia does not “expunge” records in the traditional sense. Record restriction seals the public record while GBI/GCIC retains it. Check your path first — pay only if one exists.

Free eligibility check

Answer a few questions. We’ll tell you whether a Georgia record-restriction path exists before you pay anything.

This is screening-grade information, not legal advice. The path is reviewed again at checkout.

Two paths

Automatic path
Post-2013 arrests that ended in no conviction, dismissal, nolle prosequi, acquittal, completed First Offender, or diversion are generally handled administratively. Timeline: 2–6 weeks.
Petition path
Pre-2013 non-convictions or misdemeanor convictions that may qualify (Second Chance law) require a Superior Court petition. Timeline: 2–4 months.

What you get for $89

  • Free eligibility check
  • Path-specific forms: automatic request, petition, proposed order, prosecutor notice, GBI request
  • File-ready PDF package
  • Attorney review for petition paths and edge cases

No self-service path?

Felony convictions, DUI, sex offenses, family violence, crimes against minors, and prior denials usually require a Georgia criminal-defense attorney. Find an attorney.
