Most juvenile records can be expunged when certain criteria have been met; however, expunction is not automatic and does require the person subject to the juvenile record to initiate the process.

A person subject to a juvenile record in Deschutes County may apply for expunction directly to Juvenile Community Justice. The expunction application may be delivered to the same location.
