Timberlane, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

A criminal record takes place whenever a person is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will generally 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 prior to the exact same court after a specific time period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is generally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have actually been completely pleased. And there must not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are fulfilled, the majority of municipal & district courts will generally grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might legally mention on future job 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 certain misdemeanor sex criminal activities can not be vacated.

Nonconviction information (authorities arrest records, jail booking records, finger prints/ photos (mugshots) records, etc) occur whenever a person is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction information are held by Washington State police for many years. Regional jailing authorities firms & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Section in Olympia, WA both maintain nonconviction information.

The website for the Washington State Criminal History Section is http://www.wsp.wa.gov/crime/crimhist.htm.

Nonconviction information, like criminal conviction records, can also be used by proprietors to reject rental real estate/ houses and by companies to reject job applications, job promotions, etc. Safeguard your job and future.
