Automatic Expungement of a Cannabis Offense

Starting August 1, 2023, Minnesotans with cannabis offenses on their criminal record can ask for automatic expungements. This removes the offenses from your criminal record. There is a form to submit. There is no filing fee and there is NO hearing.

If the court approves your request, an expungement order is sent:

  • to you, 
  • the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), 
  • the law enforcement agency that cited or arrested you, and 
  • the prosecutor on your case. 

If the court denies your request, a copy of the denial order is sent to you and to the prosecutor.
