Preston, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A criminal record occurs whenever a person is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will generally always remain on the individual's state rap sheet up until a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a specific period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary commitments owed to the court have been totally satisfied. And there need to not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are satisfied, most municipal & district courts will generally give 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 may legally specify on future job applications that he/she has never had a rap sheet.

Under RCW 9.96.060, a person is restricted to just one holiday of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and specific misdemeanor sex criminal activities can not be vacated.
