Mill Creek, 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 generally constantly stay on the person's state criminal record until a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the 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 obligations owed to the court have actually been fully pleased. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are met, most municipal & district courts will generally approve motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the person no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally mention on future task applications that he/she has never ever 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 criminal offenses 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 many years. Regional apprehending police firms & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

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