This page explains what to do if you have a conviction that is eligible to be erased. What will happen? How to check? What it means?

If you are the individual whose criminal conviction will be erased, congratulations! Once the conviction is erased after January 1, 2023, the conviction will no longer be visible on your criminal record when you search for it on the CT Judicial Website or other state databases.

  • If your conviction has been erased and you feel that, despite the erasure, you have been discriminated against on the basis of that conviction record, contact one of the following for assistance:
