Stillwater, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A rap sheet takes place whenever a person is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will normally always remain on the person's state rap sheet up until a legal movement (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the exact same court after a particular time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary obligations owed to the court have been fully pleased. And there should not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are met, most municipal & district courts will normally approve motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated may legally state on future task applications that he/she has never had a rap sheet.

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