Eastmont, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record happens whenever an individual is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will generally always remain 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 very same court after a particular period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there need to not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, many municipal & district courts will generally approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the individual no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated may legally 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 just one trip of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and specific misdemeanor sex criminal activities can not be vacated.

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, prison booking records, finger prints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) happen whenever an individual is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever filed in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State police for many years. Regional detaining police firms & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, persons may make written requests to expunge/delete such police nonconviction data. These requests need to be made to both the local detaining police agency and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA. Such requests will generally be granted if there have been no charges within two years of the nonconviction data sought to be erased, and over 3 years have passed given that the date of the old arrest
