What Does It Mean When You Expunge Your DUI?

When you expunge your DUI, it means that your record is sealed and that when you apply for most jobs or for a mortgage loan, you don't have to show that you have been convicted, arrested or even charged with driving under the influence of drugs.

Who Is Allowed for DUI Expungement?

If you are a one-time offender who has only one conviction for either a felony or a misdemeanor and who has no charge pending, you are qualified to expunge your DUI. Still, you are not qualified if you were convicted of specific crimes, including murder, rape, vehicular homicide and crimes committed while you were armed.

When Can You File for DUI Expungement?

You can expunge your DUI at least 3 years from the time you are off probation, parole or straight release from prison for a DUI or felony and after all court fees and any fines, restitution or community service have been paid or finished. At least one year from the time you were convicted of a misdemeanor. At least two years from the time that a grand jury did not indict you and the jury's report of "no bill" was returned. Any time after you were found not guilty or your case was dismissed which has been documented in the court's journal.

What Does It Cost to File?

It usually costs between $50 and $80 to file a motion to expunge a conviction record. But if you are a low-income person, you may file a poverty affidavit instead. There are no filing fees for expunging a record with which the case was dismissed and you were found not guilty, the grand jury found a "no bill" or nolled your case or you were in a diversion program.

Does Everyone Who Files Get a DUI Expungement?

Negative. The prosecutor can object. It is up to the court to decide whether to allow you to expunge your DUI.
