Serious Crime Expungement

Overview

Our Serious Crime Expungement solution is a specialized service that removes a serious crime conviction (a conviction that does not qualify for standard expungement). This is achieved by submitting a Presidential Pardon application to the President's Office. If we find additional case types or additional convictions on your Criminal Record Check that require a different expungement solution, we will detail this in the Expungement Assessment and advise you on how to completely remove your criminal record.

Timelines

21 business days to fully prepare your application and submit to the President.

Once submitted, the President will take 3-36 months* to consider your application. If approved, the CRC will then issue us with an expungement certificate confirming the criminal convictions removed from your criminal record (expungement).

*From the time of submission to the President and excludes the time taken for you to send and process the required documentation & criminal record update at the criminal record centre. Disclaimer

NOTE: We will first need to evaluate your criminal history before we take on any cases. We will need a scanned copy of criminal report or police clearance certificate. We offer a Starter Pack option which includes a criminal record check if you don't have one. It usually takes 1-2 weeks to obtain a new criminal report after you've completed a once off step of registering your fingerprints on our electronic database (a 10 minute process at over 300 convenient locations nationwide).

No Guarantee

We provide a professional service with a high success rate. However we cannot guarantee an outcome of an application. Each situation is unique and subject to the final decision by the President.
