Stevens, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record occurs whenever an individual is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will typically always remain on the person's state rap sheet up until a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the exact same court after a specific period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations 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 preconditions are met, many local & district courts will typically approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

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

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

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, prison booking records, finger prints/ images (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 many years. Regional apprehending cops companies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, individuals might make written requests to expunge/delete such cops nonconviction data. These requests must be made to both the regional apprehending cops agency and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such requests will typically be given if there have been no charges within two years of the nonconviction data sought to be deleted, and over 3 years have passed since the date of the old arrest
