I plead guilty to a misdemeanor theft in 2004, I received two years non reporting probation and paid restitution. I would like to start nursing school but you have to have a clean record. I live in Ohio in Clermont County and I want to file for expungement. Hamilton county sounds easy from there website you go there pay $50.00 and file, they review it , set a date for you to appear in court and make a decision to grant or not grant an expungement. I can't find any info on Clermont County courts and that is where I went to court and plead guilty. I also wanted to know once I do get my record expunged when I get fingerprinted for my nursing license will this conviction show up? Some one told me once that it only clears our local record not federal?
