Am I Eligible for a Pardon?
Eligibility requirements vary across the country. However anyone can apply to have their case pardoned. Each case is reviewed in detail and each application is considered based on the specifics on the case(s) involved and the applicant. Some factors that the Board may consider include:
- How much time has elapsed since the conviction
- If you have been crime free during that time since the case
- The number and seriousness of the crimes on your record
- Completion of all court requirements, including probation, parole and payment of fines and costs
- Proof of Rehabilitation - demonstrated through positive changes to career, education, family or through community service or volunteering
- Specific need for the pardon - such as a specific job or activity you cannot obtain or participate in because of the conviction
- Impact on the victim; if your crime involved a victim, her or she or the family will be notified and allowed to appear at the hearing if they wish.
