Eastmont, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record occurs whenever an individual is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will normally 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 same court after a particular time period. For a lot of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is normally 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 brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, a lot of community & district courts will normally approve motions 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 vacation of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and specific misdemeanor sex criminal offenses can not be vacated.
