Obtaining Pardons in Illinois
If you have ever been convicted of a crime, whether it be a felony or a misdemeanor, you cannot expunge your criminal record. Your only option is to petition the governor to ask for forgiveness and have your criminal record cleaned.
In Illinois, the process begins with filing a petition for pardon, also known as executive clemency. Then, you request a public hearing and go before the Prisoner Review Board. After the hearing, the review board makes a recommendation to the governor to sign off on your pardon. Once you get the pardon, you go back to the court where you were convicted and the court will expunge your record.
Pardons in Illinois only happen two times a year. It typically takes three to six months of lawyer preparation before the petition can be filed.
