If you were arrested or charged with an offense in Indiana and did not result in a conviction or juvenile adjudication, was previously expunged, or the conviction vacated, you are eligible to expunge your arrest record.
You are eligible to expunge an Indiana conviction for most offenses. In order to be eligible you must satisfy a waiting period during which you have no subsequent convictions. The waiting periods are: 5 years for misdemeanors, 8 years for felonies that did not result in serious bodily injury, and 10 years for felonies that did result in serious bodily injury with the prosecutor's consent. You also must have successfully completed the sentence and have no pending charges.
An expungement in Indiana will restore your firearm rights that may have been lost due to the conviction. However, you were convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense, you will need to petition the court specifically to restore your gun rights. The judge will have discretion when deciding whether to grant the restoration. Some of the factors considered will be: whether you have been subject to a restraining order, your criminal history, and any rehabilitative programs completed.
If you were convicted of a class D felony, you may be eligible to reduce the felony to a class A misdemeanor. You must not be a registered sex or violent offender. Three years must have passed since you completed the sentence, and you must be free of any felony convictions since completing your sentence. Additionally, the offense must not have resulted in bodily injury, and the conviction cannot be for perjury or official misconduct.
