Middletown · Clearing your record
A dropped charge is still a public record.
Pennsylvania does not clear an arrest automatically when the case ends in your favor. The charge stays visible on state background checks until someone files a petition and a judge signs an order.
Dauphin County is anchored by Harrisburg and Hershey — the docket runs heavy with capital-area DUI ARD, Hersheypark-corridor misdemeanors, and dismissed charges from the I-83 and Route 322 traffic stops, and Clean Slate sealing is widely available.
Where your petition is filed
Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas, Harrisburg. Dauphin County's Court of Common Pleas in Harrisburg typically rules on unopposed expungement petitions in 60 to 90 days.
From Middletown

What can be cleared for a Middletown record.
Dismissed, withdrawn, or acquitted charges
Any arrest that did not end in a conviction is fully expungeable under 18 Pa.C.S. § 9122 — including charges the DA dropped at the preliminary hearing.
Completed ARD
Charges resolved through ARD are expunged once the program is finished. The dismissal alone does not clear the record; the petition does.
Summary convictions
Disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, retail theft under $150, and summary traffic offenses are expungeable after five arrest-free years.
Juvenile records
Most juvenile adjudications can be expunged after the statutory waiting period once you turn 18.
Clean Slate sealing
M2, M3, and ungraded convictions are sealed automatically after ten conviction-free years — sealing limits public access but does not destroy the record.
Pardon-based expungement
A gubernatorial pardon makes an otherwise ineligible conviction expungeable on petition.
