The removal from the criminal record of a decision concerning a minor may be decided under the conditions set out in Article L. 631-4 of the juvenile criminal justice code.
The removal from the criminal record of a conviction for offences committed by a person aged between eighteen and twenty-one may also be ordered on expiry of a period of three years from the date of conviction, if the convicted person appears to have been rehabilitated. However, this withdrawal may only take place after the custodial sentences have been served and the fines have been paid and, if additional sentences have been imposed for a fixed period, after that period has expired.
In the case provided for in the preceding paragraph, the removal from the criminal record of the record establishing the conviction shall be requested by application, in accordance with the rules of jurisdiction and procedure laid down by the second and third paragraphs of Article 778.
When the decision has been removed from the criminal record, the mention of this decision must no longer appear in bulletin no. 1 of the criminal record.
