Do I Qualify for Expungement in New Mexico?

This page is a real screening flow based on the conditional schematic. It cannot replace a file review, but it can tell you whether you are likely looking at a New Mexico expungement candidate, a timing problem, a restitution problem, or a case that needs deeper research before anyone gives you an answer.

What this screener checks

Restitution / excluded

Whether restitution or excluded offense categories stop the petition

Waiting period

Whether the one-year or conviction waiting period has run

Disposition

How the case ended

Location

Where the case happened

What helps us answer faster

Case numbers, county names, judgments, and proof of restitution or discharge can make the difference between a quick answer and a long research project.

Why the screener cannot be the final answer

The actual record controls. The schematic is useful, but we still confirm the disposition, offense level, waiting period, and later history before filing.

When to call anyway

If the case involved multiple states, identity theft, missing paperwork, or uncertain restitution, call even if the screener cannot give you a clean yes/no result.

Still not sure after the screener? Call the office and we will review the actual record, not just your memory of how the case ended.
