What does the WA State Department of Licensing consider a conviction?

The Department of Licensing expects you to disclose information about any gross misdemeanor or felony crime. You should not include traffic offenses.

The department will review cases on an individual basis and consider the seriousness of the conviction. In addition, it will take the level of the crime into consideration, as well as assess any mitigating factors brought forth during sentencing. Further, the department will look at any active or suspended jail time ordered, as well as any type of probation and its duration.
