Mukilteo, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

A rap sheet occurs whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly remain on the person's state criminal record till a legal movement (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 actually been totally satisfied. And there need to not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, many community & district courts will typically grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully mention on future job applications that he/she has never had a rap sheet.

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

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, prison booking records, finger prints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever a person is arrested/jailed however no criminal charges are ever filed in court.

These requests need to be made to both the local arresting police company and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA.
