Re: When (if ever) is a DUI removed from your record?

Generally, a DUI conviction comes off your DMV record after 7 years. For purposes of your criminal record, generally, a DUI can not be expunged. A conviction can only be used against you as a prior only if the offense occur within 7 years of each other. To find out when and if it has come off your record you must contact the DMV.
