Preston, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet occurs whenever a person is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will generally always remain on the person's state rap sheet till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the same court after a certain time period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been fully pleased. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are met, many community & district courts will generally give movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the person no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully 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 trip of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and particular misdemeanor sex criminal activities can not be vacated.
