Seattle, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record happens whenever a person is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will usually always stay on the individual's state criminal record up until a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the same court after a specific time period. For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial responsibilities owed to the court have been fully pleased. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are fulfilled, many community & district courts will usually grant movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

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