Yuba County Criminal Record Fees

Fees for criminal records in Yuba County are set by state law and are the same at all California Superior Courts. Knowing the fees ahead of time helps you plan before making a request.

Criminal Record Clearing in Yuba County

If you have a criminal conviction in Yuba County, California law may allow you to clear it. Penal Code 1203.4 lets you petition the court to dismiss a conviction after you finish probation. The conviction then appears as dismissed on your record. It does not get erased entirely, but dismissed convictions carry less weight with employers and landlords. AB 1076 has made some of this automatic. The DOJ reviews eligible records and can grant dismissals without the person having to file a petition in Yuba County or anywhere else.

Once sealed, it will not show on most background checks. File the petition at the Yuba County Superior Court in Marysville. You can handle the filing yourself or get help from a lawyer or legal aid organization.
