Impact
-
Many employers won't hire you if you've been convicted of driving under the influence, and a DUI can make it difficult to get car insurance.
State Laws
-
According to GetYourDUISealed.com, the legal process for clearing a DUI from your driving record varies by state. You may want to consult an attorney about the requirements in your state.
-
Expungment
-
In most states, you can ask the court to expunge, or remove, a DUI from your driving record five years after you've completed your sentence, according to GetYourDUISealed.com.
Benefits
-
Once your conviction is expunged, you won't have to tell potential employers or other interested parties about your DUI.
Considerations
-
Expunging the DUI doesn't mean it is gone forever, according to GetYourDUISealed.com. If you have to go before a judge in the future, the DUI may be considered a prior conviction.
