Cowley, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A rap sheet occurs whenever a person is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will usually always remain on the individual's state criminal record till a legal movement (request) 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 period is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have actually been totally pleased. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, most community & district courts will usually grant movements 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 state on future task applications that he/she has never ever had a rap sheet.

Under RCW 9.96.060, a person is restricted to just one vacation of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and specific misdemeanor sex crimes can not be vacated.
