Snohomish, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE DETAILS

A rap sheet takes place whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will normally always remain on the individual's state criminal record till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the exact same court after a certain time period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations owed to the court have been fully pleased. And there need to not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are fulfilled, many community & district courts will normally give movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

Nonconviction information (police arrest records, jail booking records, fingerprints/ images (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever a person is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever filed in court. Such nonconviction information are held by Washington State police for many years. Local arresting police firms & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both retain nonconviction information.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, persons may make written demands to expunge/delete such police nonconviction information. These demands need to be made to both the regional arresting police company and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA. Such demands will normally be approved if there have been no charges within two years of the nonconviction information looked for to be erased, and over 3 years have passed because the date of the old arrest
