How do you get your record expunged in Oregon?

In general, you get a record expunged in OR by filing a motion with both the court and the prosecutor's office in the county where your arrest took place. Some courts and prosecutor's offices have the forms, others do not. Traffic violations and Class A and B felonies cannot be expunged. If you were not convicted, you have to wait 1 year after your arrest to file. If you were conviced, you have to wait 3 years for some offenses and 10 years for others.
