Expunging Middlesex County Records

Under N.J.S.A. 2C:52-1, people with booking reports in Middlesex County can petition to have their records sealed. Expungement removes the booking report and arrest data from public searches. The process requires filing a petition in the Superior Court. A judge reviews the case and decides if the person meets the legal requirements.

Not every arrest qualifies. The type of crime and the time since the conviction both matter. Once granted, the expungement order goes to the Middlesex County jail, the sheriff, local police, and state agencies. They must all seal the record. After that, a standard search of Middlesex County booking reports will not show the expunged arrest.
