Sealing Washington Juvenile Convictions
The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) allows individuals to have their juvenile criminal records sealed. If you were convicted of a crime in Washington as a juvenile, you may have a record that is open to public view. Because juvenile records do not automatically disappear when an individual turns eighteen, all juvenile records will remain open for the public to view unless you get the court to “seal” them. Once sealed, the records are protected from public examination.
