Georgetown, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record occurs whenever an individual is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will usually always remain on the individual's state criminal record until a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a specific time period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary obligations owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are fulfilled, many municipal & district courts will usually give 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 may legally mention 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 holiday of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and certain misdemeanor sex crimes can not be vacated.

These demands must be made to both the regional arresting police firm and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA.
