A rap sheet (at this point in time) a.k.a. criminal record: all the offenses the person is accused of. If you read above they are asking to expunge the "ficha" for "breach of trust" so it is the booking for that offense only

What does it mean when a person is "booked" into jail?
This is an administrative process documenting a prisoner's entrance into the jail. The process includes collecting information such as the person's name, address, reason for the arrest (criminal charge(s)), and inventorying personal property. A photograph and fingerprints are taken as well.

A “rap sheet” or
“yellow sheet” is a record of your arrest
and conviction history
Rap sheets are maintained by the Illinois
Department of State Police, Bureau of
Identification (BOI), in Joliet. Each time
that you are arrested and fingerprinted,
the police department sends a report of
the arrest to the BOI. If you have been
arrested previously, the BOI adds the new
information to your computer file

@ lorenab23 I'm no expert on this but I thought that "rap sheet" was originally a single record and had come to be used as the whole collection of records e.g. "a rap sheet a yard long".

But I could be wrong or the extended sense may have taken over completely.
lorenab23 Jun 5, 2011:
I agree with DLyon that it is the latter, however a rap sheet, at least in the US is the list of all arrests for a particular individual (whether he is later officially charged or not), the booking sheet is for the particular offense at the particular time. Based on what I have read about this "ficha" which many in Mexico believe is a violation of their rights, they do not want these booking sheets to stay on the record so that the state/the police cannot really create a rap sheet. Is this helping or making it worse?
DLyons Jun 5, 2011:
The latter??? But I'm guessing really :-(
Richard Hill (asker) Jun 5, 2011:
don't understand what I can't undestand is if they're whiping out his criminal record because the time prescribed by law has passed in order to be able to do so, or if they are simply removing his booking sheet because he will not be charged because the statute of limitations has passed?
DLyons Jun 5, 2011:
Yes? Just reading that sentence alone, that's what I'd say - striking out the charge against him. Of course, that may not make sense in the overall context.
Richard Hill (asker) Jun 5, 2011:
rap sheet so they're talking about deleting his criminal record?
DLyons Jun 5, 2011:
Rap sheet? Sounds like a Mexican rap sheet to me.
Richard Hill (asker) Jun 5, 2011:
much appretiated the whole paragraph has me pulling my hair out. I've translated it all but expect to make a few corrections before I send it.
lorenab23 Jun 5, 2011:
question posted correctly yes, there is a place to post an answer, don't worry. Sometimes we post references because we don't know the exact answer but it can point you in the right direction or help somebody else come up with the answer...I haven't given up yet!
Richard Hill (asker) Jun 5, 2011:
sounds very plausible thanks for looking in to it. I wonder if I have I posted the question incorrectly as I can't see an option to submit an answer or is that because I don't see the option to "answer" because I'm the asker?
lorenab23 Jun 5, 2011:
Based on the explanation of what it is, it seems to me that they are talking about an (immate) booking sheet, since it includes pictures and finger prints of individual, general information, appearance, etc...let's see if somebody else has another idea
Richard Hill (asker) Jun 5, 2011:
thanks for helping me understand do maybe "administrative indentification file"?

ficha de identificación administrativa

In Mexico known as well as FICHA SIGNALETICA

La ficha signalética es un
acto administrativo que, si bien es cierto que no constituye una pena; se
decreta después de dictado un auto de formal prisión o de sujeción a proceso,
por lo que cuenta con fundamentación y motivación debidos; sirve
para aportar datos sobre el aspecto somático del procesado, evitando así
confusiones con homónimos; y es un medio para conocer los antecedentes
del procesado
