Ohio Expedited Pardon Project

Normally, a pardon may take several years and only a small percentage of traditional pardons are granted.  However, the Ohio Governor’s Expedited Pardon Project allows qualifying applicants to bypass the waitlist for pardon consideration, with the wait time being months instead of years.

The link below will take interested persons to the website for the Project which contains information on who is a qualifying applicant (no criminal conviction in last 10 years with certain offenses not being eligible for the Expedited Project); how and where to apply; the forms necessary for applicants; and information on obtaining a BCI criminal background check which is mandatory and must be included.
