California Certificates of Rehabilitation
What is a Certificate of Rehabilitation?
A Certificate of Rehabilitation is a special court order stating that a person has been entirely rehabilitated. The order is then sent to the Governor and serves as an automatic application for a pardon. If you were convicted of a felony and served time in prison, you are not eligible for an expungement but you may be eligible for a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
Major Benefits of a Certificate of Rehabilitation
A Certificate of Rehabilitation:
Restores all civil rights (but does not effect gun rights unless Governor signs pardon).
Ends duty to register under Penal Code section 290 for some sex-offenses.
Serves as official proof that you have been rehabilitated.

At least 7 years must have passed since you were released from prison.
