There are a number of reasons why an individual would want to expunge a criminal record. Jobs that require a security clearance will require a criminal background check. Some professional licenses cannot be obtained with a criminal conviction. Even admittance to some college and universities will be denied if the applicant has a criminal record. Clearing a criminal record can help people who are having trouble getting housing, or have been prevented from getting certain types of employment. Sometimes, a person wants to expunge a criminal record simply to wipe the slate clean.

It is possible to take a conviction off your record - otherwise known as expunging (or vacating) a conviction. An experienced lawyer may be able to clear a conviction in the state of Washington. This means that the court will set aside the conviction. The Record is changed to show a Not Guilty result and the individual can answer truthfully that he/she has never been convicted.

There are several requirements that must be met in order to expunge a criminal record, such as:

  • You have complied with the terms and conditions of your sentence
  • The conviction must have occurred more than three years ago since the time the case was closed for a misdemeanor, five years for a Class C felony, and ten years for a Class B felony
  • The conviction cannot be for certain offenses precluded by statute
