If you were sentenced to state prison or sentenced under the authority of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or have a remaining felony conviction on your record, you may be eligible for a certificate of rehabilitation and pardon. For eligibility and application requirements, contact:
The Board of Parole Hearings
P.O. Box 4036
Sacramento, CA 95812-4036
Or, your local Public Defender office.
If you are eligible, you may file a petition with the superior court where you reside. This is a lengthy process and you may need a lawyer. You have the right to have the public defender in your county help you.
