On the occasion that you’ve ever been declared guilty of a crime, it is a permanent portion of your criminal record, though allowances to this rule do, at times, apply. Supposing that you’ve have not been in more trouble, the criminal record can be a candidate for expungement. When a Washington criminal record is expunged, it’s no longer a portion of a criminal record. As a result of expungement, a person may answer “no” anytime asked if they’ve been convicted of a criminal offense by employers, landlords, and many others.
