Re: vacating
it does vacate in court record and WSP if you send them the necessary documentation, but if you want it not to be seen on background checks you have to seal the record as well. All vacate does is change your guilty verdict to not guilty.

It removes it from dissemination by the WSP. The court record remains. To learn more about vacating misdemeanor conviction you can view the link below.
