How can I get a copy of my DWI conviction record?

In Washington state, if you have been convicted of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), you can obtain a copy of your conviction record by filing a public records request. To do this, you must send a written request to the court where you were originally convicted of the DWI. You should include your name and address, the date and location of your conviction, and the names of any attorneys that were involved in the case. Once the court has received your request, they will review it and determine if your conviction record is available to the public. If it is, they will send you a copy of the conviction record. It is important to note that some types of records may not be available to the public, such as records of formal probation, deferred adjudication, and arrests that did not result in conviction. There may be a small fee associated with obtaining a copy of your conviction record. Additionally, there may be restrictions on who can have access to the record. For example, some records may only be available to law enforcement, or those people the court has granted access to. Finally, you can also obtain a copy of your conviction record from the Washington State Department of Licensing. They will need a copy of your driver’s license and a release form before they can provide you with the record.
