To expunge a record in Georgia, you must contact the arresting law enforcement agency and obtain an application for "Local Record Expungement."
You complete one section. The arresting agency completes a second section and sends the request to the appropriate prosecutor. Then the prosecutor completes a third section, and either approves or denies the request.
The prosecutor will forward the complete form to the Georgia Crime Information Center.
