Shorewood, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A rap sheet happens whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will normally always remain on the person's state criminal record up until a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a particular period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have actually been completely pleased. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are satisfied, most community & district courts will normally grant motions 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 might legally mention on future task applications that he/she has never ever had a rap sheet.

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