Rule 722. Contents of Order for Expungement.

 Every order for expungement shall include:

   (1)  the defendant’s name, date of birth, and social security number;

   (2)  the OTN;

   (3)  the district justice docket number and the magisterial district number, or the Municipal Court docket number;

   (4)  the court of common pleas docket number, if any;

   (5)  the specific charges, as they appear on the charging document, to be expunged;

   (6)  the date of arrest and the criminal justice agency which made the arrest;

   (7)  the disposition;

   (8)  the reason for expungement; and

   (9)  the criminal justice agencies upon which certified copies of the order shall be served.

   This rule sets forth the information that must be included in every expungement order, but is not intended to be an exclusive list.

   When a summons instead of an arrest warrant is issued pursuant to Rule 518, the date of the summons constitutes the ‘‘date of arrest’’ for purposes of paragraph (6).

   For purposes of this rule, ‘‘criminal justice agency’’ includes police departments, county detectives, and other law enforcement agencies. See also 18 Pa.C.S. §  9102.

   The ‘‘reason for expungement’’ in paragraph (8) means, for example, acquittal, successful completion of ARD, or age.
