Sometimes your RAP sheet will contain arrests and convictions that don’t belong to you. Each state has a different process for removing this information.
To remove convictions that don’t belong to you, select the state where your criminal record is located using the drop-down menu below:
If you are the victim of mistaken identity or identity theft, challenge your record with the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection's (DESPP) State Police Bureau of Identification (SPBI). You must show proof of the mistake and proof of your identity.
Here are four steps to challenge your record with the DESPP SPBI:
- Report the identity theft or mistaken identity to your local sheriff, police department, or state police headquarters.
- Prove your identity to the law enforcement agency with documents such as your driver's license and birth certificate.
- Get your fingerprints taken at a law enforcement agency. The law enforcement agency will document in an official letter that they reviewed your personal identification and obtained your fingerprints.
- Mail the official letter and your fingerprints to this address:
Connecticut State Police
Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection
1111 Country Club Road
Middletown, Connecticut 06457
