White, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A rap sheet occurs whenever an individual is founded guilty of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will typically always stay on the individual's state criminal record until a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the exact same court after a specific period. For the majority of 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 new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are fulfilled, the majority of community & district courts will typically grant movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the individual no longer having a rap sheet for that specific conviction.

A person whose criminal conviction is vacated might lawfully state on future job applications that he/she has never ever 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 specific misdemeanor sex criminal offenses can not be vacated.

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, jail booking records, finger prints/ pictures (mugshots) records, etc) occur whenever an individual is arrested/jailed however no criminal charges are ever submitted in court.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, persons might make written requests to expunge/delete such cops nonconviction data.
