Eastland, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record occurs whenever an individual is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will usually constantly stay on the individual's state rap sheet until a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a particular 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 financial obligations owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there should not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are satisfied, most community & district courts will usually give motions 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 lawfully state on future job applications that he/she has never ever had a rap sheet.

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

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, jail booking records, fingerprints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) occur 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 detaining police agencies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both maintain nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, individuals might make written demands to expunge/delete such police nonconviction data. These demands should be made to both the regional detaining police company and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA. Such demands will usually be approved if there have been no charges within two years of the nonconviction data sought to be deleted, and over 3 years have passed given that the date of the old arrest
