Looking for help in completing your expunction application?
Juvenile records can keep qualified individuals from employment, education, and housing opportunities.
YRJ provides assistance free of charge to individuals who have juvenile records in all counties of Oregon.
The best way to make sure that your juvenile record won’t restrict you in the future is to go through the process called expunction. Expunction means the destruction or sealing of all your records with the court and related agencies. Once your record is expunged, you may say in Oregon that the record never existed and that the contact that was the subject of the record never occurred.
The process to get your record expunged starts by submitting an Application for Expunction. Expunction is not permissible for some serious offenses.
You can contact our staff to help you start the expunction process by clicking the yellow box below and completing the form.
