Felony Guide

I was convicted of a felony, 16 yrs ago (theft by receiving), and applied for a pardon for the restoration of my rights - 6 mths ago. How can I find out the results; in Georgia? THANKS for any info.

The courts should notify you if you are approved. This process can take a long time. Did you do it yourself or use an attorney? If you used an attorney they should be able to check with the court to see if it's been reviewed.

The good news is at least you haven't been rejected yet. It is anecdotal, but I've had friends tell me expungement requests are usually handled quicker when they are rejected.

Austin,

Congratulations on your filing. For the state of Georgia, you must review the specific details of their process in order to determine when you may expect further information. You can check on the status yourself by contacting the GCIC CCH/Identification Services at (404) 270‐8396 or email gacriminalhistory@gbi.ga.gov. For additional information please visit www.ignovi.com
