Note: This is a general eligibility guide, not legal advice. Only an attorney can evaluate your specific case.

Step 1 — What Type of Record Do You Have?

Georgia’s record restriction law covers different situations. Check which applies to you:

• Arrest with no conviction — charges were dropped, dismissed, or you were found not guilty
• First Offender Act sentence — you were sentenced under the First Offender Act and successfully completed probation
• Certain misdemeanor convictions — some misdemeanors may qualify after a waiting period
• Felony conviction — most felony convictions do not qualify for record restriction, but may qualify for a pardon or gun rights restoration

Step 2 — Eligibility Checklist

If you were arrested but not convicted, you likely qualify if:

• ✓ Your charges were dismissed, nolle prossed, or you were acquitted
• ✓ You were not convicted of any other charge arising from the same incident
• ✓ You do not have more than 2 prior criminal convictions on your record

If you were sentenced under the First Offender Act, you likely qualify if:

• ✓ You successfully completed your probation without revocation
• ✓ You have been discharged by the court
• ✓ Your offense was not a serious violent felony or sex offense
