| What relief the state offers | Wyoming offers "expungement" for adult records in three situations: arrests and dismissed charges, certain misdemeanor convictions, and certain nonviolent felony convictions. Adult expungement does not destroy the record. Instead, the Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) reclassifies it so it can be shared only with criminal justice agencies for criminal justice purposes. The court file is sealed. Juvenile records can be fully destroyed. The Governor can grant pardons for felonies. |
