Edmonds, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record happens whenever an individual is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will normally always remain on the individual's state criminal record up until a legal movement (request) 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 normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations owed to the court have actually been fully satisfied. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, the majority of local & district courts will normally grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated may legally state on future task applications that he/she has never had a criminal record.
