Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Commonly Asked Questions About Expungement in Virginia
What is Expungement?
Virginia allows individuals to request expungement in certain circumstances, including when a charge was dismissed or ended in acquittal. Our service helps you complete the expungement petition based on the information you provide. We do not evaluate eligibility — consult a Virginia attorney if you are unsure whether you qualify.
How Much Does It Cost?
The $199 fee covers the cost of using the software platform to generate and email your Petition for Expungement. Additional costs may include:
- Court filing fee (approx. $85-95)
- Postage or mailing costs
- Any sheriff’s service fees or fingerprinting costs (approx. $10-20)
Those fees are paid directly to the court or other agencies. We charge a flat fee of $199 to make the paperwork part fast and painless.
How Long Does It Take?
The paperwork will be prepared within minutes to help you save time on the paperwork so you can get into the court’s queue as quickly as possible.
Can You Represent Me In Court?
No. Courtforms is a software platform and does not provide legal advice or representation. We recommend that you speak with an attorney if you believe your case requires legal advice before proceeding. Courtforms is not a law firm and cannot not represent you in court.
What If I Have Legal Questions?
As access-to-justice software, Courtforms helps streamline the process of generating self-help legal documents for expungement. This service is not a substitute for legal advice from a licensed attorney. Courtforms automates standard Virginia expungement forms based on the information you provide, but it does not review your specific situation or tell you what you should do.
If you have questions about eligibility or strategy, you should speak with a Virginia lawyer.
Will this actually work?
Yes! Though we cannot guarantee any particular legal outcome, Virginia courts allow you to directly file a petition to seal your own criminal record and get your life back after a charge is dismissed. Our platform generates the exact court-approved forms you need to file.
