Stillwater, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet takes place whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly stay on the individual's state rap sheet till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the exact same court after a particular time period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations owed to the court have been completely satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, the majority of municipal & district courts will typically give motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully mention on future job applications that he/she has never had a rap sheet.

Under RCW 9.96.060, a person is limited to just one getaway of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and specific misdemeanor sex criminal offenses can not be vacated.

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, prison booking records, fingerprints/ images (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever a person is arrested/jailed however no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State police for many years. Regional arresting police agencies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both maintain 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 must be made to both the local arresting police firm and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA. Such requests will typically be given if there have been no charges within two years of the nonconviction data sought to be erased, and over 3 years have passed given that the date of the old arrest
