After your expungement is approved, the court sends the order to the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS), which updates its Central Repository. Once that’s complete, connected agencies such as the FBI are also notified to update their databases. This process usually takes several weeks.
Most Maryland expungements are completed within about 60 to 90 days, but it can take longer if there are objections or if agency updates take extra time. You’ll receive confirmation once the court and related agencies finish processing your order.
Driving records are handled separately by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). Some minor traffic offenses are automatically removed after certain waiting periods (in some cases, within 31 days of eligibility). However, serious offenses such as DUI or DWI are not eligible for automatic expungement through the MVA.
