Not every criminal charge qualifies for expungement under Mississippi law. Eligibility depends on the type of offense, the outcome of the case, and whether the individual has prior convictions. In general, certain dismissed charges, non-adjudicated cases, and specific misdemeanor convictions may qualify.

Mississippi law also allows limited felony expungements in certain circumstances, but eligibility is strictly defined by statute. Violent crimes and certain serious offenses are typically excluded from expungement eligibility.

Because eligibility rules can change and depend on individual case details, it is important to review court records carefully before pursuing expungement.
