Clear your Washington record.

You can clear your Washington record. Washington law lets you vacate certain felony convictions under RCW 9.94A.640, vacate certain misdemeanor and gross-misdemeanor convictions under RCW 9.96.060, and delete certain arrest records under WAC 446-16-025 — all within the broader Criminal Records Privacy Act framework at RCW Chapter 10.97. The petition-based path uses a motion filed in the original criminal case number and may involve a court hearing.
