Expunging A Juvenile Record
ORS 419A.262 — four years after the last termination and age 18, or at once for a prostitution record from under 18
- At least four years have passed since the most recent termination, and the person is 18 years of age or older
- No felony or Class A misdemeanor conviction since then, unless set aside
- Nothing pending against the person in criminal or juvenile court, and no known investigation
- No restitution owed
On the application of the person or the juvenile department, or on its own motion, the juvenile court orders expunction when it finds all of those, after a hearing if the matter is contested.
No wait for this one. A record of conduct that would be prostitution if done by an adult, from when the person was under 18 years of age, is expunged on application with no waiting period.
