Indiana has a Second Chance law, but based on your question you would not qualify under this act, because it only allows for sealing of a record if it is a Class D Felony or lower and it has been eight (8) years "have passed since the person completed the person’s sentence and satisfied any other obligation imposed on the person as part of the sentence" (which means you have completed your probation requirements as well).   The other option requires that fifteen (15) years have passed since the end of your sentence to request that your criminal record be limited to searches only by law enforcement agencies.  I.C. 35-38-5-5.
