Washington Vacate Misdemeanor Conviction Annotated Revised Code of Washington § 9.96.060

The state of Washington allows the court to vacate certain non-violent misdemeanor convictions. Once vacated (expunged), the case is no longer deemed a conviction. State law gives you the right to exclaim to anyone, including prospective employers, that you were NOT convicted of that offense, after a vacate motion has been granted.

With more than 80 percent of employers conducting background checks, having your record vacated is a great investment.

Once a conviction is vacated (expunged), the fact that you have been convicted of the offense will not be included in your criminal history for purposes of determining a sentence in any subsequent conviction. For all purposes, including responding to questions on employment or housing applications, a person whose conviction has been vacated may state that he or she has never been convicted of that crime.

Not all offenses are eligible and you must meet a waiting period that starts from the time you complete your probation and pay all fines and restitution. Take the free online eligibility test to see if you are eligible. The waiting periods are:

• Class B Felony: 10 Years (Felonies before 7/1/1984 are not eligible)
• Class C Felony: 5 Years (Felonies before 7/1/1984 are not eligible)
• Domestic Violence: 5 Years (Must be the only conviction involving Domestic Violence)
• Misdemeanor: 3 Years
• Gross Misdemeanor: 3 Years
• Diversion/Deferred Judgment: 2 Years
• Sex offenses and DUI offenses are not eligible
