A clearer way to navigate the pardon process.
Pardon Process provides nationwide assistance for individuals seeking to better understand and navigate applicable state and federal pardon processes.
Because pardon laws and procedures are not uniform across the United States, our process begins by identifying the jurisdiction responsible for your conviction and determining the requirements that apply there.
Our services may include eligibility review, criminal-history review, application preparation assistance, document organization, personal-statement preparation, supporting-document guidance, and procedural education.
State pardons
Every state sets its own rules.
Each state establishes its own pardon laws, eligibility rules, waiting periods, application procedures, and decision-making process. Pardon Process helps individuals understand which state's process applies and navigate the regular public application process.
Services may include
Eligibility and jurisdiction review
Application-process guidance
Document organization
Application preparation assistance
Personal statement preparation assistance
Character-reference preparation guidance
Written next-step information
Supporting-document organization
Submission preparation
50 states, 50 processes
Waiting periods, eligible offenses, and the board or authority that decides your matter all vary by state. The Eligibility & Jurisdiction Review is where that gets sorted out.
Federal pardons
Federal convictions follow a different process from state convictions.
Pardon Process assists individuals with understanding and preparing for the regular federal pardon application process available to the public.
The federal pardon process is administered through the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Pardon Attorney.
Pardon Process is an independent private company and is not affiliated with the Office of the Pardon Attorney or any governmental entity.
