  1. HOW LONG DOES A DUI STAY ON YOUR RECORD? THE TRUTH REVEALED A DUI (Driving Under the Influence) charge can lead to severe and long-term consequences for your driving privileges, jobs, and insurance. Many people ask how long a DUI can remain on their record, and the answer will depend on the state in which the DUI occurred and how serious the offense was. For this reason, it may help you to understand the potential long-term effects of a DUI in order to make informed decisions about your future and the appropriate steps you need to take regarding recovery and record management. How Long a DUI Stays on Your Driving Record In most states, DUIs remain on your driving record for 5-10 years, with some states keeping the DUI off your driving record for life. For example, in California, a DUI is retained on the record for 10 years. Whereas in Florida and Texas, a DUI is perpetual and never really goes away. In any case, during the period of time that the DUI is on your driving record, it will more than likely continue to affect your car insurance rates, as well as your ability to renew your driver's license and/or ability to drive legally. In addition, some states will retain the DUI on record with respect to the potential background checks, even after the cut-off date for violations and penalties.

  2. The Difference Between Criminal and Driving Records A DUI is not only a traffic offense; in most circumstances, it is a crime. Your criminal record can show DUI indefinitely, unless you act to expunge it or seal it. Your criminal history can be seen by employers, landlords, or specific establishments in a background check, while a driving record violation is typically only a traffic violation. Some states grant options for expungement or sealing your record after a certain amount of time has passed due to specific requirements like rehabilitation or probation, especially if it is your first offense. The good news is that you may be able to expunge or seal your DUI record in some states, which will remove the DUI from public view. Speaking with a knowledgeable DUI lawyer in Breckenridge can quickly inform you of whether you are eligible for expungement or sealing and help you move forward in the legal process, cleaning up your record.
