Effective January 1, 2020
A comprehensive new expungement law authorizes courts to limit public access to non-conviction records one year after disposition if no other charges are pending, and to most convictions for felonies, misdemeanors and municipal ordinances after varying waiting periods.
Specifically, the law allows for expungement in the following circumstances:
- Expungement of Criminal Records due to identity theft.
- Expungement of Criminal Records due to release without conviction.
- Expungement of Criminal Records upon conviction.
(after completion of sentence, payment of fines and having a specified amount of time pass since conviction)

I will say, however, that Section 5(G) of the New Mexico Criminal Record Expungement Act (NMCREA) indicates that an offense involving driving while under the influence is not permitted to be expunged under this Act.
I’m sorry. Larry.
