 Pardon Application Form for the Current Offender (PDF)

Update: Beginning October 10, 2007, you no longer have to submit 7 copies of your Pardon Application!

You now only have to submit one (1) original copy of your Pardon Application plus any supporting documents, plus keep a copy for your own records. The requirement to submit multiple copies of the application and any supporting documentation has been waived as of Wednesday, October 10, 2007.

Update: As of October 1, 2007, the eligibility criteria for a non-inmate pardon has changed!

Public Act 07-57—s (Senate Bill 170) specifies that the Board of Pardons and Paroles can accept pardon applications:

(1) three years after a person's conviction of a misdemeanor or violation or

(2) five years after a person's felony conviction

The act allows the board to accept an application before these dates in extraordinary circumstances. Under board policy, the board does not accept applications until five years after a person completes the sentence for the crime.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2007

**This is a change from current policy. Prior to October 1, 2007, applicants had to wait until five years after the completion of any sentence, plus the term of their parole or probation. This act states that applications can be submitted five years after the conviction date for the crime.  For further clarification, please call the Board of Pardons and Parole**
