Ridgecrest, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A rap sheet occurs whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will usually constantly stay on the person's state criminal record till a legal movement (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a certain time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial responsibilities owed to the court have been completely satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are met, most municipal & district courts will usually grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the person no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

Nonconviction information (police arrest records, prison booking records, fingerprints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) happen whenever a person is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction information are held by Washington State police for many years.
