Snohomish, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

The criminal conviction will usually always stay on the person's state rap sheet until a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a specific period. For a lot of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary commitments owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated.
