, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

The criminal conviction will typically constantly remain on the individual's state rap sheet till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the very same court after a certain period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been completely satisfied.
