Covington, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record takes place whenever an individual is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will normally 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 specific period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary commitments owed to the court have actually been completely satisfied. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are satisfied, the majority of community & district courts will normally give motions 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 may lawfully state on future job applications that he/she has never ever had a criminal record.

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

Regional arresting police companies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both maintain nonconviction information.
