IMPORTANT NOTICE:

You do not need a lawyer or representative to apply for a pardon. This will not accelerate the review of your application or convey a special status on it. The NPB treats all applications in the same way.

You can apply for a pardon by following the step-by-step instructions above, and submitting your completed application forms and a $50 processing fee.
