Can You Clear a DUI Off Your Driving Record?

In most cases, a DUI conviction will remain on your driving record indefinitely. However, according to DUIArrestHelp.com, you can petition a court to remove a DUI from your record.

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.
