By expungement. Your case may be reopened and dismissed if a judge agrees.

By sealing of your record. If you were arrested but not convicted and can persuade authorities that you were wrongly arrested, it may be possible for your arrest record and all related documentation of it to be destroyed completely.

Through a certificate of rehabilitation. This method does not erase or expunge your records but it may be helpful for some purposes.

Through a pardon from the governor. This is rarely available but a defense attorney can help you explore all your options, including the possibility of a pardon.

You may petition the court for an expungement while still on probation (though this will require extra steps) or after you have completed your probation. Expungement is a form of post-conviction relief that has helped many Californians move forward after a criminal matter has left them with potentially harmful official records.
