Coos County Arrest Record Expungement

Oregon allows some arrest and conviction records to be sealed through expungement. The controlling law is ORS 137.225. Eligible people file a motion with the Coos County Circuit Court to have certain records set aside.

Waiting periods depend on the type of offense. Most misdemeanors need three years from the judgment. Most felonies need five years. Dismissed charges may be eligible sooner. Not all crimes can be expunged. Serious violent crimes and certain sex offenses do not qualify under any timeline. Once the Coos County court grants the motion, the arrest record stops appearing in most public searches. Law enforcement retains access to sealed records for limited purposes.
