Stillwater, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record happens whenever an individual is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will typically always remain on the individual's state criminal record until a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the exact same court after a particular period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been completely satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, the majority of local & district courts will typically approve motions 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 job applications that he/she has never had a rap sheet.

Under RCW 9.96.060, an individual is restricted to only one trip of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and specific misdemeanor sex crimes can not be vacated.

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, prison booking records, fingerprints/ photos (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever an individual 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 cops 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 cops nonconviction data. These requests must be made to both the regional arresting cops 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 2 years of the nonconviction data sought to be erased, and over 3 years have passed because the date of the old arrest
