Legal Question in DUI Law in Florida

Yes, if in fact you were never convicted it can be removed. You will need to obtain certified copies of the court records in which the case was dismissed in order to go further. Next, and this will be the hard part, there is a national database which keeps records such as this. Illinois reported this to the database. It will be up to the Illinois department of motor vehicles to ask that this be removed. They can do so, and should, if you present to them the copies of the court documents which show that you were not convicted of the DUI.

One note, different states treat the withholding of adjudication differently. If the charge were not dismissed in Illinois, but rather had the adjudication was withheld, this might be a different matter for Florida.

Finally, rather than pursuing this with the Illinois DMV, you can try with the Florida DMV in Tallahassee. Again, you will need the certified copies of the dismissal before you can get much further.

This is a time consuming process - I recently helped a client in a similar matter, and this will take a while.

Good luck.
