With much help from Sarah Hatch and Hasina Asif of the Contra Consta County Public Defender's Office
Forms
Procedure
There are two main ways to apply for a pardon in California. The route that available for California residents convicted of felonies or of sex offense misdemeanors is a Certificate of Rehabilitation. If a court grants a Certificate of Rehabilitation, it is forwarded to the Governor as a recommendation and an application for a pardon.
There is also the direct route, in which a person directly applies to the Governor of California for a pardon. This is the only option available for out-of-state residents or for people asking for pardons for non-sex-offense misdemeanors.
Direct pardon
The form is available at the link above. On page 3 of the form is the Notice of Intent to Apply for Executive Clemency. It is filled out and sent to the District Attorney of each county in which a conviction occurred for which a pardon is being sought. This should be mailed to the District Attorney before mailing in page 1 and 2 to the Governor. Then fill out page 1 and 2 and send it to the Governor at

Annual reports
California Constitution article V, section 8, subdivision (a) grants the Governor the power to pardon, but also requires "The Governor shall report to the Legislature each reprieve, pardon, and commutation granted, stating the pertinent facts and the reasons for granting it. " As such, there is annual report sent from the Governor to the Legislature, usually containing the text of each pardon. However, the reports under Governor Brown also contain the applications for pardon, including supporting documentation such as declarations or Certificates of Rehabilitation or PC1203.4 orders.
