University, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record takes place whenever an individual is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will typically always stay on the person's state criminal record until a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a certain 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 commitments owed to the court have actually been completely 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 criminal record for that specific conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully specify on future task applications that he/she has never ever had a criminal record.

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

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, jail booking records, finger prints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) happen whenever an individual is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State law enforcement agencies for many years. Regional arresting police agencies & 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 police nonconviction data. These demands must be made to both the regional arresting police company and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such demands will typically be approved if there have actually been no charges within two years of the nonconviction data sought to be deleted, and over 3 years have actually passed since the date of the old arrest
