Monroe, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A criminal record happens whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly remain on the person's state rap sheet till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a specific period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been totally satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, most community & district courts will typically grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

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

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