Stevens, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record takes place whenever an individual is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will normally constantly stay on the individual's state criminal record up until a legal movement (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the exact same court after a specific 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 commitments owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are satisfied, most community & district courts will normally approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

An individual whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully mention on future task applications that he/she has never ever had a rap sheet.
