How to Apply for a Pardon
State of California
Office of the Governor
Statement of Philosophy
A California Governor's pardon is an honor traditionally granted only to individuals who have
demonstrated exemplary behavior following conviction for a felony. A pardon will not be
granted unless it has been earned. Obtaining a pardon is a distinct achievement based upon proof
of a useful, productive, and law-abiding life following conviction. The Governor has complete
discretion in deciding whether to grant a pardon. A pardon is a privilege—not a right—and not
granted to every person who applies.
Absent extraordinary and compelling circumstances, an application will not be considered unless
the applicant has been discharged from probation or parole for at least 10 years without further
criminal activity during that period. The 10-year rule may be waived in truly exceptional
circumstances (for example, factual innocence), if the applicant can demonstrate such
circumstances warranting a specific need for the pardon.
Pardons
Applications may be accepted from any person who has been convicted in California of a felony
or certain specified misdemeanor sex offenses. In most cases, the first step in applying is to
obtain a Certificate of Rehabilitation from the superior court in the county where the applicant
currently resides. All other cases are by way of a direct or "traditional pardon" application. The
procedure utilized will depend on the circumstances of each applicant, as explained below.
Once an application is filed under either procedure, the case is referred to the Board of Prison
Terms (Board) for investigation. The Board may contact the district attorney, investigating law
enforcement agency, and other persons with relevant information on the applicant.
No fee is charged for applying for a pardon.
Effect of a Pardon
A pardon does not seal the individual's criminal record, and the pardon is itself a public
record. When a pardon is granted, the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation are notified so that they may update their records on the applicant. The pardon
is filed with the Secretary of State, reported to the Legislature, and is a public record.

American LegalNet, Inc.

Restoration of Rights
The most frequent reasons for requesting a pardon are for personal satisfaction and for licensing,
bonding, or other employment purposes.
A pardon does not seal or expunge the record of the conviction. (Penal Code sec. 4852.17.) If the
person is subsequently convicted of a new offense, the prior conviction may be considered even
after a pardon has been granted. A person who has been pardoned cannot say that he or she has
no record of arrests or convictions. The person can, however, say that he or she has been
convicted and pardoned.
A pardon is not necessary to vote. An individual convicted of a felony becomes eligible to vote
in California after successful discharge from probation or parole. (California Constitution, art. II,
sec. 4.) A person who receives a pardon may serve on a jury. (Code of Civil Procedure sec.
203(a)(5) and Penal Code sec. 4852.17.)
A person convicted of a felony who receives a full and unconditional pardon may be employed
as a state parole officer or as a county probation officer but cannot otherwise be employed as a
peace officer. (Gov. Code sec. 1029.)
A person convicted of a felony cannot own or possess firearms. (Penal Code sec. 12021.) If the
individual receives a full and unconditional pardon, he or she may own or possess any type of
weapon that may lawfully be possessed by others in California, unless the person was convicted
of an offense that involved the use of a dangerous weapon. A California pardon does not
necessarily permit the possession of weapons under the laws of another state or the federal
government. The law governing the right to own or possess firearms can be found in Penal Code
section 4854.
The granting of a pardon does not prevent some licensing agencies from still considering the
conviction in determining whether a license should be granted to practice certain professions.
The law regarding licensing determinations can be found in Penal Code section 4853.
The Governor of California cannot grant a pardon for a conviction suffered in another
jurisdiction, such as another state or a federal proceeding. A person convicted in another state
must apply for a pardon in that state. Federal pardon information can be obtained from the
Pardon Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice, 500 First Street Northwest, Washington, D.C.
20530.
Certificate of Rehabilitation
A Certificate of Rehabilitation is a court order declaring that a person convicted of a felony is
now rehabilitated. If a petition for a Certificate of Rehabilitation is granted, it is forwarded to the
Governor by the court and constitutes the application for a pardon. The laws pertaining to the
Certificate of Rehabilitation can be found in Penal Code sections 4852.01 to 4852.21. Receipt
by the Governor of a Certificate of Rehabilitation does not guarantee that a pardon will be
granted.

Generally, any person convicted of a felony who still resides in California may apply to the
superior court in his or her county of residence for a Certificate of Rehabilitation, provided that
he or she meets the requirements of demonstrated rehabilitation required by law. (Penal Code
sec. 4852.06.)
Special laws apply to those convicted of sex offenses. Persons convicted of misdemeanor sex
offenses specified in Penal Code section 290 may apply if the conviction has been dismissed
under Penal Code section 1203.4. Persons convicted of felony offenses under Penal Code
section 286(c), 288, 288a(c), 288.5, or 289(j) are not eligible for a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
A Certificate of Rehabilitation may relieve some offenders from having to register as a sex
offender under Penal Code section 290. For more information on 290 registration requirements,
contact the California Department of Justice, Sexual Registration Unit.
Who May Apply
You are eligible to apply for a Certificate of Rehabilitation if you:
1. were convicted of a felony and served your sentence in a California prison; and
•
•
•
were discharged or released on parole prior to May 13, 1943; and
have not been incarcerated in a state penal institution since release; and
have resided for three years in California immediately prior to filing the petition.
OR
2. were convicted of a felony, or a misdemeanor sex offense specified in Penal Code section
290 that was dismissed under Penal Code section 1203.4; and
•
•
•
•
have been discharged from custody, parole, or probation; and
have not been incarcerated in any penal institution, jail, or agency since release;
and
are not on probation for the commission of any other felony; and
have resided for five years in California immediately prior to filing the petition.
OR
3. were convicted of a felony after May 13, 1943; and
•
•
•
were sentenced to state prison; and
were discharged from custody or released on parole; and
have resided for five years in California immediately prior to filing the petition.
Persons who are not eligible to apply for a Certificate of Rehabilitation include:
1. those who do not meet the above requirements; or
2. those who were convicted of misdemeanors, except those convicted of a misdemeanor
sex offense as discussed above; or
05/12/2011_INSTRUCTION SHEET REHABILITATION & PARDON_CRIM202
Page 2
American LegalNet, Inc.
www.FormsWorkFlow.com
3. those who were convicted of sex offenses under Penal Code sections 286(c), 288,
288a(c), 288.5, or 289(j); or
4. those who are serving a mandatory life parole; or
5. those committed to prison under a death sentence; or
6. those persons in the military service.
When to Apply
Persons eligible for a Certificate of Rehabilitation may file a petition with the superior court in
their county of residence once they have completed the period of rehabilitation. The period of
rehabilitation begins to run upon discharge from incarceration or upon release on probation or
parole. The period of rehabilitation requires five years residence in California, PLUS:
1. four years for persons convicted of Penal Code sections 187, 209, 219, 4500, or 12310,
or Military and Veterans Code section 1672(a), or any other offense that carries a life
sentence; or
2. five years for any person convicted of any offense for which sex offender registration is
required under Penal Code section 290, except for convictions for violations of
subdivision (b), (c), or (d) of section 311.2 or of section 311.3, 311.10, or 314 (these
convictions require an additional two years); or
3. two years for any persons convicted of any offense not listed above and that does not
carry a life sentence; or
4. any additional years ordered by the court if the person served consecutive sentences.
Procedure for Applying
The petition for Certificate of Rehabilitation must be filed in the superior court of the applicant's
current county of residence. (Penal Code sec. 4852.06.) The Petition for Certificate of
Rehabilitation can usually be obtained from the court clerk, probation department, or public
defender's office. The petitioner is required to notify the district attorney in their county of
residence and the district attorney of each county in which the petitioner was convicted of a
felony. The notice must identify all crimes for which the person is requesting a Certificate of
Rehabilitation. The form for sending these notices can also be obtained from the court clerk,
probation department, or public defender.
Persons applying for the Certificate of Rehabilitation are entitled to assistance in processing their
petitions from the county probation office(s), state parole office(s), and for persons under the age
of 30, from the California Youth Authority. The person may also be represented by counsel of
his or her own selection. If the person does not have counsel, he or she may be represented by
the public defender, the probation department, or the court may assign counsel. (Penal Code
section 4852.08.)
Once a petition is filed, the court will schedule a hearing. Before the hearing, the court may
require an investigation by the district attorney. At the hearing, the court may require testimony
and records pertaining to the petitioner, including information about the conviction offense and
the person's conduct while incarcerated and since release.

If the court finds that the petitioner has demonstrated rehabilitation, the court may declare that
the petitioner is rehabilitated. A certified copy of the Certificate of Rehabilitation issued by the
court is transmitted to the Governor and becomes the application for a pardon.
Upon receipt of the application, the Governor may request that the Board of Prison Terms
conduct its own investigation and prepare a report. If the petitioner has been convicted of more
than one felony in separate proceedings, the California Supreme Court must approve granting a
pardon before the Governor may do so.
Traditional Pardon
The traditional pardon procedure is available to those who are not eligible for a Certificate of
Rehabilitation. This procedure is used primarily by those who were convicted of felonies in
California and now reside outside the state. The traditional pardon procedure is also available to
individuals who are not eligible for a Certificate of Rehabilitation because they have been
convicted of sex offenses under Penal Code sections 286(c), 288, 288a(c), 288.5, or 289(j), and
those convicted of misdemeanor offenses. The traditional pardon procedure is covered by Penal
Code sections 4800-4813.
Applicants for a traditional pardon must write directly to the Governor's Office to request an
application at the following address:
Governor's Office
State Capitol
Attention: Legal Affairs Secretary
Sacramento, CA 95814
The applicant should complete the Application for Clemency and return it to the Governor's
Office. In addition, the applicant must send Notice of Intention to Apply for a Traditional
Pardon to the District Attorney of each county in which the applicant was convicted of a felony.
Applications may be forwarded by the Governor’s Office to the Board of Prison Terms for
investigation and recommendation.
If the applicant has been convicted of more than one felony in separate proceedings, the
California Supreme Court must approve granting a pardon before the Governor may do so.
As with those who apply via a Certificate of Rehabilitation, there is no requirement that the
Governor entertain granting a pardon, and the length of time needed to complete the pardon
process cannot be accurately predicted.
