How much does an expungement cost?

It depends on what you are trying to expunge. There are no fees or costs to expunge a case that ended without a conviction. To expunge a misdemeanor conviction the filing fee is $100 To expunge a felony conviction the filing fee is $50, and there is an additional $250 fee due if the expungement is granted. However, payment of the $250 can be spread over 18 months, but the conviction will not actually be expunged until the fee is paid. In addition to expunge a conviction (but not a case that ended without a conviction) you will need a certification from the Kentucky State Police. It costs $40. If you have more than one conviction, you may copy the certification and use it in several cases. A KSP certificate is ostensively valid for 30 days, but this limit is not absolutely controlling on a court. Click here to order a KSP certification. If you use an attorney that will be an additional fee. Some attorneys doing expungements list their fees online.
