When can I apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct?

There is a statutory waiting period. If your most serious crime that you were convicted of was a misdemeanor, the minimum waiting period of good conduct is one year. If your most serious crime that you were convicted of was a class C, D or E felony, the minimum waiting period of good conduct is three years. If your most serious crime that you were convicted of was a class B or A felony, the minimum waiting period of good conduct is five years.

The minimum period begins from the date of the payment of any fine imposed on you or the suspension of sentence, or from the date of your unrevoked release from custody by parole, commutation or termination of your sentence.
