Colorado FAQ
Answers before you start
Does Colorado have automatic sealing?
Yes, for some records. Other records still require a petition. The intake separates automatic, wait, and petition paths.
Which Colorado form do I need?
JDF 417 is used for certain arrest records, while JDF 612 is used for many conviction-sealing petitions. The software selects the supported form based on your answers.
What happens after a Colorado sealing order?
You may still need to check private background reports and dispute stale reporting under the FCRA.
