CLEAR YOUR RECORD
EXPUNGEMENT
An old conviction shouldn’t keep costing you jobs, apartments, and opportunities. Michigan’s Clean Slate laws let many people set aside misdemeanors, felonies, and even a first OWI. Ticket Fix Pro handles the entire process for you.
Find out if your record can be cleared.
What an expungement does
An expungement (called a “set aside” in Michigan) removes a conviction from your public record. Employers, landlords, and most background checks will no longer see it, and in most cases you can legally say you were not convicted. Law enforcement and certain agencies can still see a nonpublic record.
Who may qualify
Eligibility depends on what you were convicted of, how many convictions you have, and how much time has passed. In general:
- Misdemeanors: many can be set aside, often after a 3-year waiting period.
- Felonies: up to three felonies may be set aside, generally after 5 to 7 years.
- First-offense OWI: may be eligible for a set aside 5 years after you complete probation.
- Marijuana convictions: for conduct that is now legal may be set aside.
Waiting periods usually start from the latest of your sentencing, the end of probation, or release from jail or prison. Some offenses, such as life-maximum crimes and certain sex offenses, cannot be expunged.
What about automatic expungement?
Michigan now clears some older convictions automatically, but many records don’t qualify, and the automatic process can miss cases. If you need your record cleared now for a job, license, or housing application, applying is usually the faster and surer path.
