FAQs About Indiana Expungement in 2025






  • Can I expunge more than one case?

    Yes, Indiana allows multiple cases, but they usually must be filed together if in the same county. If different counties, then need separate petitions. 

  • Will it show up on background checks?

    No — expunged records are sealed from public view and can’t be used by employers or landlords.

  • Do I need to go to court?

    Not usually. We handle the filings. If a hearing is needed, we represent you.
