This guide will help you fill out a CR-180 Petition for Dismissal form. The CR-180 is a California form used to "expunge" aspects of an individual's criminal record. Only a certain subset of crimes can be cleared from a record.

First, we will ensure that you can apply for a dismissal and that the offense you are hoping to expunge is eligible for dismissal.

Second, we will walk through a series of questions that the program will use to complete your CR-180. You will be presented with both a completed CR-180 and CR-181 (which you must submit along with the CR-180 for the court to complete) at the end of the process.

You will need to have your RAP sheet available during this process. We recommend getting your RAP sheet by following the instructions on this website.

Once you're ready, press continue.
