Thomas, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A criminal record happens whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will usually constantly stay on the person's state criminal record up until a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the very same court after a particular period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary obligations owed to the court have been totally satisfied. And there should not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are fulfilled, the majority of municipal & district courts will usually give movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

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