Under the Act, you can petition the court to expunge felonies and misdemeanors with a few exceptions. New Mexico will not permit you to get an expungement for DUIs/DWIs, embezzlement, sex crimes as defined by SORNA, crimes against minors, and offenses that caused great bodily harm or death to another person. Otherwise, you have the right to make a plea for your expungement.
