Mill Creek, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record occurs whenever a person is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will generally 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 before the very same court after a specific time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary commitments owed to the court have actually been totally pleased. And there need to not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are satisfied, most community & district courts will generally approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

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

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

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, jail booking records, fingerprints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) occur whenever a person is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever filed in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State police for several years. Local arresting police firms & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, individuals may make written requests to expunge/delete such police nonconviction data. These requests need to be made to both the local arresting police firm and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such requests will generally be granted if there have actually been no charges within 2 years of the nonconviction data sought to be deleted, and over 3 years have actually passed considering that the date of the old arrest
