Missouri Arrest Record Expungement
An arrest that never led to a conviction can still show up and cost you a job or an apartment. If your case was dropped, dismissed, or never charged, you may be able to clear the arrest record, often relatively quickly.
Often eligible
- Arrests where no charges were ever filed
- Charges that were dismissed
- Cases that ended without a conviction
Usually not eligible
- Arrests that led to a conviction (that’s a different process)
- Arrests for offenses excluded by statute
There are exceptions in both directions and the law changes. Don’t rule yourself out. Let us check.

Often yes. Missouri allows expungement of many arrest records where no charges were filed or the case ended without a conviction. Timing and eligibility depend on the specifics, and we’ll check yours free.
How soon can I expunge an arrest with no charges?
When no charges are filed, an arrest record can often be addressed within roughly 18 months of the arrest. We’ll confirm the timeline for your situation.
