A DUI (Driving Under the Influence) can stay on your driving record for several years, depending on the state where it occurred. However, it is not possible to completely remove a DUI conviction from your driving record. The only way to potentially remove it is to have it expunged or sealed, which involves going through a legal process that varies by state. In most cases, a DUI conviction will stay on your driving record for at least 5-10 years. During this time, it may have an impact on your insurance rates and potential job opportunities, as well as any subsequent DUI charges. If you want to try and have your DUI conviction expunged or sealed from your driving record, you will need to consult with a criminal defense attorney who specializes in DUI cases. They will be able to advise you on the specific laws and processes in your state and help you understand if you are eligible for expungement or sealing. In some states, you may be able to have your DUI conviction expunged if it is your first offense and you have completed all of the requirements of your sentence, such as paying fines, completing community service, and attending any required classes or rehabilitation programs. Some states also have a waiting period before you can apply for expungement, such as 5 or 10 years after the conviction. If you are not eligible for expungement or sealing, the only way to remove a DUI from your driving record is to wait for the designated period of time.
