Stevens, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A criminal record occurs whenever an individual is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will generally always remain on the individual's state rap sheet till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the exact same court after a specific time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary commitments owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are fulfilled, most municipal & district courts will generally grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally specify on future job applications that he/she has never had a rap sheet.

Under RCW 9.96.060, an individual is limited to only one getaway of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and certain misdemeanor sex criminal offenses can not be vacated.

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, prison booking records, fingerprints/ photos (mugshots) records, etc) happen whenever an individual is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever filed in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State law enforcement agencies for several years. Regional jailing cops firms & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both maintain nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, persons might make written demands to expunge/delete such cops nonconviction data. These demands must be made to both the local jailing cops company and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such demands will generally be granted if there have been no charges within two years of the nonconviction data sought to be erased, and over 3 years have passed since the date of the old arrest
