Snohomish, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A rap sheet takes place whenever a person is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly stay on the person's state rap sheet until a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a particular period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary commitments 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 prerequisites are satisfied, many local & district courts will typically approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the person no longer having a criminal record for that specific conviction.

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, jail booking records, finger prints/ photos (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever a person is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State law enforcement agencies for several years. Regional arresting police companies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, individuals might make written requests to expunge/delete such police nonconviction data. These requests should be made to both the local arresting police firm and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA. Such requests will typically be given if there have been no charges within 2 years of the nonconviction data sought to be deleted, and over 3 years have passed since the date of the old arrest 

The website for the Washington State Criminal History Area is http://www.wsp.wa.gov/crime/crimhist.htm.
