The ACIC form is the primary petition document for individuals seeking to seal their court records in Arkansas under Act 1460 of 2013, A.C.A. 16-90-1401 et seq. It covers defendants who experienced outcomes that render them eligible to request sealing of arrest records, including nolle prosequi (charges dropped), dismissals, and judgments of acquittal. Acquittals on grounds of mental disease or defect are excluded from this provision.
Eligibility requires applicants to confirm the absence of pending felony charges in state and federal courts, confirm they are not required to register as a sex offender under the 1997 Arkansas Sex Offender Registration Act, and verify compliance with all mandatory filing fees. The petition requires detailed personal identification, including race, sex, date of birth, arrest tracking number, SID number, and FBI number if known. This information ensures accurate processing within state and national record systems, including the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC) database.
Once filed, the court reviews the petition and, if approved, issues an order to seal the specified arrest records from public view. Sealed records remain accessible to law enforcement and certain government agencies but are removed from general public access. For other related Arkansas legal documents, see the Arkansas 10-315 form. Additional criminal justice resources are available through the criminal record supplemental form and court petition forms at FormsPal.
