Virginia's sealing forms, and how they fit together
Virginia's criminal sealing forms are published by the Office of the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court of Virginia. The numbering looks arbitrary until you know that a petition, its addendum and the matching order always travel as a set.
Petitions you file
- CC-1201 — petition for sealing under §19.2-392.12.
- CC-1201A — addendum to the CC-1201 petition.
- CC-1203 — petition for sealing under §19.2-392.12:1(A) and/or (B).
- CC-1203A — addendum for subsection (A) of §19.2-392.12:1.
- CC-1203B — addendum for subsection (B) of §19.2-392.12:1.
Orders the court enters
- CC-1202 and CC-1202A — order and addendum under §19.2-392.12.
- CC-1204 and CC-1204A — order and addendum under §19.2-392.12:1(A).
- CC-1205 and CC-1205A — order and addendum under §19.2-392.12:1(B).
Getting back into a sealed record
- CC-1206 — motion to access a sealed court record.
- CC-1207 — order to access sealed record.
- A person arrested, charged or convicted of a sealed offense may have access by motion and order; any other request for dissemination must also be by written motion and order.
Download the current version, and check local practice
Forms are updated, and the courts' own guidance notes that local practice can vary. Download each form on the day you file rather than working from a stored copy, and confirm the filing details with the clerk of the circuit court where the case was disposed of. The forms are designed for Adobe Acrobat Reader: if your browser will not open a PDF properly, save it first and open it outside the browser.
What this workspace can prepare
The workspace supports the CC-1201 and CC-1203 petitions with their addendums, filled from your own answers, so the paperwork arrives consistent and complete. It does not file anything and it does not decide eligibility — that is the court's job.
