ST. CHARLES – The Kane County Circuit Clerk’s Office, in conjunction with other law partners, will host two expungement clinics next month, according to a news release.
One clinic will be from 9:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 17 at the Gail Borden Public Library, 270 N. Grove Ave., Elgin. The other clinic will be from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 24 at the Aurora Public Library, 101 S. River St., Aurora.
Circuit Clerk Theresa Barreiro said in the release that her office is hosting the clinics to help those who have minor criminal offenses have those records possibly expunged and/or sealed.

The Circuit Clerk’s office will have informational packets along with volunteers to assist in filling out the forms.
A link to statewide forms is available on the Kane County Circuit Clerk’s website, cic.countyofkane.org.
