Wabash, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet takes place whenever an individual is founded guilty of a criminal offense by a court. The criminal conviction will typically constantly stay on the person's state criminal record till a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 prior to the same court after a specific time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is typically 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial obligations owed to the court have been fully pleased. And there should not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests given that the conviction looked for to be vacated. If all these preconditions are satisfied, most community & district courts will typically grant motions to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

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

Under RCW 9.96.060, an individual is restricted to only one trip of a misdemeanor criminal conviction. Convictions for DUIs and certain misdemeanor sex criminal offenses can not be vacated.
