In order to begin cleaning up your criminal record, you first need to know what is on your criminal record.

If you have more than 1 conviction, you need this information for EVERY conviction:

1. What is your case number — sometimes called “docket number”?

2. What was your date of conviction?

3. What is the code name and section number you were convicted of violating? ? For example, Penal Code section 484; Health and Safety Code section 11377; Vehicle Code section 14601(a).

4. Was there a verdict or did you enter a plea? If you entered a plea, was it “guilty” or “no contest” (also called “nolo contendere”)?

Depending on what you may want to ask the court to do, you may also need the following information:

1. Were you ordered to serve any time on probation (either formal or informal probation,)? If so, for how long?

2. Were you ordered to make any payments, such as restitution, as a part of your probation?

3. Did you comply with all of the terms and conditions of probation?

4. If you were sentenced to state prison, which one?

5. If you were sentenced to state prison, on what date were you released?

6. If you were released on parole, on what date did your parole end?
