Pontiac, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record takes place whenever an individual is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will usually constantly remain on the person's state criminal record till a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the very same court after a certain period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations owed to the court have actually been completely satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are fulfilled, the majority of municipal & district courts will usually grant movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated may lawfully specify on future task applications that he/she has never ever had a rap sheet.

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