Page, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet occurs whenever an individual is founded guilty of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly remain on the individual's state criminal record up until a legal movement (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the exact same court after a certain time 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 commitments owed to the court have been completely pleased. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, most municipal & district courts will typically grant movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally state on future task applications that he/she has never ever had a rap sheet.

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