How long does it take to have a criminal record expunged in Illinois?

[Edit]

Answer

Getting a record expunged/sealed is a process, sometime taking between 3 to 6 months to get completed.  Of course this depends on different factors such as the type of crime it was.  Illinois has different packets for different levels of crime so it depends on which procedure you have to do.  You also have to be fingerprinted and have certified copies of your final disposition, which this can take a some time to get depending on whether you live in the area where you got your conviction or not.

Once you file your application the time it takes also depends on the court the application is going to.

A good general time frame is usually 3 to 6 months.
