How Long Does a DUI Stay on Your Record in California?
A DUI conviction will stay on your driving record for 10 years, but will permanently remain on your criminal record – unless expunged.

What are the Requirements to Get a DUI Expunged From Your Record in California?
While an experienced legal team can assist you in expunging a DUI conviction from your record, there are certain requirements that must be met first in order to be eligible.
Requirements to be eligible for expungement include:
- You must have completed probation
- Paying all fines and restitution
- You can’t be facing any other charges or serving any other sentence
How Long Do You Have to Wait to Get a DUI Expunged in California?
In California, you must wait until your probation is finished. You must also apply for early probation termination in order to get the expungement process started sooner. If you were not on probation, you can have your record expunged one year after your conviction.
When Does a Second DUI Count as a Second Offense In California?
Even if expunged, however, a DUI conviction remains “priorable” in California – meaning if you are charged with another DUI within 10 years of the expungement, it will be treated as a repeat offense.
Having a Proven Defense is Crucial
Because of the inherent complexities in California’s DUI laws, your best chance at obtaining successful results lies in retaining a strong and effective legal counsel. A DUI conviction on your record can be the difference between landing a new job and fighting to simply pass the background check.
Should you hire our Los Angeles DUI expungement lawyers, you can be confident and have peace of mind that your legal team are allies who will aggressively fight on your behalf.
