Form 21 Application to Vacate Conviction Under A.R.S. § 13-909

This form lets someone ask a court to erase a conviction from their record if they were a victim of sex trafficking or labor trafficking. To qualify, the person must show that they committed the crime because they were being trafficked and controlled by someone else at the time.

The form asks for basic information like your name, case number, and the conviction you want removed. You will need to explain how your trafficking situation led to the crime, and you can attach documents or other evidence that supports your story. A judge will review what you submit and decide whether to grant the request.

If the court approves the application, the conviction is vacated, meaning it is treated as if it never happened. This can make a real difference in a person's life by removing barriers to jobs, housing, and other opportunities that a criminal record can block.
