Portage, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record occurs whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will normally constantly remain on the individual's state rap sheet until a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a particular period. For a lot of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary commitments owed to the court have been fully satisfied. 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, a lot of community & district courts will normally approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the individual no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally specify on future job applications that he/she has never had a criminal record.

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 offenses can not be vacated.
