Idaho law does not currently allow for a criminal expungement. Once a criminal citation is on your record it stays there even if reduced or dismissed. Regretfully there is nothing you can do in Idaho to remove a criminal conviction or charge from your record.

You will have to seek a criminal expungement in your state. An expungement will allow this criminal charge to be completely removed from your criminal record so long as you qualify and meet all of the eligibility requirements for an expungement in your state. Contact a local criminal defense attorney in your area to determine if you qualify for a criminal expungement at this time.
