I am trying to get my criminal record expunged in Illinois. I have no felonies, but have some misdemeanors. I went over the paperwork on how to get my record expunged and it said I can get it expunged as long as all my misdemeanors show supervision successful which they do except for a guilty conviction for curfew violation when I was 17 years old. I do not know if the curfew violation applies.

Under Illinois Law, anyone who has ever been convicted of a felony, misdemeanor or ordinance violation is ineligible to expunge any or all of his criminal records; however, you may be eligible to seek an order 'sealing' your arrest and/or conviction records on all of your cases, including your supervisions, as long as 4 yrs. have passed since your last conviction, with no other incidents.

There are a number of specific offenses that are unable to be expunged or sealed by their very nature. You should consult with an attorney in confidence to determine your eligibility. You can access information on the process by going to the Illinois Appellate Defender's Office's website. Google it.
