Georgetown, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

A rap sheet occurs whenever an individual is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will usually always remain on the individual's state rap sheet up until a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a specific time period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial commitments owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, the majority of local & district courts will usually grant movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally specify on future task applications that he/she has never ever had a rap sheet.

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

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, prison booking records, finger prints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever an individual is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State police for many years. Local detaining cops agencies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both maintain nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, individuals might make written requests to expunge/delete such cops nonconviction data. These requests should be made to both the regional detaining cops agency and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such requests will usually be approved if there have been no charges within 2 years of the nonconviction data sought to be erased, and over 3 years have passed since the date of the old arrest
