New Hampshire

Statute

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. ยง633:7(VI)

Under New Hampshire law, survivors of trafficking may petition to vacate convictions and destroy records of non-violent misdemeanors and class B felony offenses committed as a direct result of being a victim of trafficking. In the petition, survivors must demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that they were a victim of trafficking when the offense was committed. Official documentation from any state or government agency is not required but creates a presumption that the survivor is eligible for criminal record relief.
