White, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

A rap sheet occurs whenever an individual is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will typically always stay on the individual's state criminal record up until a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a certain period. For a lot of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations owed to the court have actually been completely satisfied. And there need to not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are met, a lot of community & district courts will typically give movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated may legally mention on future task applications that he/she has never ever 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 certain misdemeanor sex criminal activities can not be vacated.
