Lynnwood, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE DETAILS

A rap sheet occurs whenever a person is founded guilty of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly remain on the person's state criminal record till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the same court after a certain time period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial commitments owed to the court have been totally satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are met, many community & district courts will typically approve motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person 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 had a criminal record.
