Thomas, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFO

A rap sheet happens whenever a person is convicted of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will generally constantly stay on the individual's state criminal record till a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the exact same court after a particular period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is generally 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 new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are met, most municipal & district courts will generally give movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a criminal record for that particular conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully specify on future job applications that he/she has never ever had a criminal record.

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