Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Re: 2nd degree felony theft

Yes it will show up. Until you have it vacated. Which you can do after three years after you've completed the terms of probation. That usually includes paying the fine unless you have a good attorney. So, pay off those fines so you can get this off your record. Contact me directly if you'd like further assistance.

Re: 2nd degree felony theft

Once your legal financial obligations (court costs, restitution, etc) are satisfied, you can request a certificate of discharge. Five years after the certificate of discharge is filed, you may be eligible to vacate the convictions.

While vacated convictions are not reported by law enforcement agencies, they are still a public record and case information is available through the clerk's office (and somewhat available online).

NB: The waiting period is three years for a gross misdemeanor, e.g. theft 3rd degree.
