Missouri Expungement Laws Updated for 2025

At Rose Legal Services, we believe in second chances!

Second chances are our purpose – our passion – our cause.

So, I have exciting news to share! New Missouri expungement laws went into effect on January 1, 2025. These changes could significantly affect your future, making it easier to clear your record and move forward.

Increased Expungement Limits:

  • Misdemeanors: The maximum number of misdemeanors that can be expunged in a lifetime has increased from two to three.
  • Felonies: The maximum number of felonies that can be expunged in a lifetime has increased from one to two.

Shorter Waiting Period for Arrest Records:

The waiting period for expunging an arrest record without a conviction or suspended imposition of sentence has been reduced from three years to eighteen months.

While these changes are significant, it’s important to consult with an attorney to determine your specific eligibility for expungement. Individual circumstances and the nature of the offenses can affect eligibility.
