Often, we expunge people’s records. We have an incredible rate of success. It’s important to understand, however, what does it mean to expunge a record? When we expunge a criminal record, we are expunging it from the court record more specifically. The distinction is that this is not an expungement from the DMV record.

     The DMV is a separate entity and has its own method of keeping records. There is no legal instrument currently available to expunge a DMV record. Records drop off naturally after a period of time.  In the case of a DUI, it will stay on the record for DMV purposes for 10 years. The good news is, that typically a DMV record is not a public record, or something that can be obtained through normal channels, unless you are applying for a driving specific job or a s particular commercial class of license.

     Keeping that in mind, it’s important to take advantage of the expungement of the court record which is a public record. These public records typically can be obtained through standard background checks. For this reason, expungement still provides an excellent way of clearing the public record.

Nobody plans to get charged or arrested for a DUI, but if you were to be convicted of a DUI, it could have devastating long term effects on your life. To make matters worse, you have to contend with not one but two government entities…..both the courts and the DMV!
