Edmonds, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

The criminal conviction will generally always remain on the person's state criminal record up until a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the same court after a particular time period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary obligations owed to the court have actually been fully pleased. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction sought to be vacated.
