A person may petition the court to seal his/her own records by filing a petition with the District/County/Muni court where the arrest and/or criminal records are filed. Please review Colorado State Statute (C.R.S.) 24-72-703 to see the qualification for sealing a record.
Colorado courts charge no fee to seal a case that results in a dismissal or acquittal. The fee to seal a conviction varies by court, though it is typically $65. Sealing an arrest record that resulted in no charges costs $224.
Sealing a record makes it invisible to the public, but law enforcement still has access. Expungement is the actual destruction of criminal records. In Colorado, expungement only applies to an underage drinking and driving conviction or a juvenile criminal offense.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has signed the Clean Slate Act into law, allowing for arrest records that dont result in a conviction and certain older criminal records to be automatically sealed.
Waiting periods are 4 years for civil infractions, 7 years for petty misdemeanors, and 10 years for eligible felonies substantially longer than for petition-based sealing. Allows for the immediate automatic sealing of eligible non-conviction records.
