Woodinville, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A criminal record takes place whenever a person is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will usually always remain on the person's state criminal record until a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the same court after a specific time period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been totally satisfied. And there should not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these prerequisites are met, the majority of local & district courts will usually approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That results in the person no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

Nonconviction data (police arrest records, prison booking records, finger prints/ images (mugshots) records, etc) take place whenever a person is arrested/jailed however no criminal charges are ever filed in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State police for several years. Local arresting police companies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

Under RCW 10.97.060 and WAC 446-16-025, persons may make written requests to expunge/delete such police nonconviction data. These requests should be made to both the regional arresting police company and to the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA. Such requests will usually be granted if there have been no charges within two years of the nonconviction data sought to be erased, and over 3 years have passed since the date of the old arrest
