Maury, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet takes place whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will usually constantly remain on the individual's state rap sheet until a legal movement (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the same court after a particular 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 commitments owed to the court have been fully pleased. And there need to not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, many local & district courts will usually grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the individual no longer having a criminal record for that particular conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated may legally state on future job applications that he/she has never had a criminal record.

Under RCW 9.96.060, a person is limited to only one trip of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and certain misdemeanor sex criminal offenses can not be vacated.

Nonconviction information (police arrest records, jail booking records, finger prints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever a person is arrested/jailed however no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction information are held by Washington State law enforcement agencies for several years. Local jailing police companies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both retain nonconviction information.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, persons may make written requests to expunge/delete such police nonconviction information. These requests need to be made to both the local jailing police firm and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA. Such requests will usually be given if there have been no charges within 2 years of the nonconviction information looked for to be deleted, and over 3 years have passed since the date of the old arrest
