Rule 42.2 Expungement of criminal records

If you want your criminal record cleared in Delaware, you can file a petition asking the court to expunge it. The court will handle your request by following the specific state laws found in Title 11 of the Delaware Code, Chapter 43, Subchapter VII.

Those state laws lay out who qualifies for expungement, what crimes can be cleared, and how the process works. The court rule itself is short because it simply points to those laws as the guide for how these cases are handled.
