In order to apply for a pardon:
one year must have passed since the date of conviction; and
you must have paid all of the court ordered costs, fines and restitution.
If you have applied for a pardon within the last year and the Board of Pardons and Paroles did not recommend your application to the Governor for consideration or the Governor did not grant the pardon, you are not eligible to apply.
For more specific eligibility requirements, see the FAQS section and the Instructions section.
