For instance, states like Arizona have\na 5 year period, while states like California have a 10 year period.\nUnfortunately, if you are a resident of Indiana, a DUI conviction stays on your\ndriving record forever. But Indiana is not alone; additional states that have\nthis same \u201cfor life\u201d rule include Alaska, Ohio, Kansas, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas,\nand Vermont. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Florida, DUI\u2019s stay on driving records for 75 years,\nwhile New Mexico residents will have their DUI on record for 55 years. Those\nwho can access driving records include government officials, law enforcement,\nand the drivers\u2019 licensed branch. The general public would have a harder time\naccessing these records, which means you may not have to worry about having a\nDUI conviction on your driving history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Criminal Record<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>A DUI is not just a driving infraction, it is also a crime.\nThis means that a conviction will appear on your driving record, as well as\nyour criminal record. For Indiana residents, a DUI conviction remains on a criminal\nrecord much like a driving record: forever. The only way to have a DUI removed\nor sealed from your criminal record is to have it expunged; however, there are\nvarious strict prerequisites for qualifying for criminal record expungement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of those who can access your criminal records is\nmuch longer than the DMV list. Anyone can access criminal records because they\nare public, including employers, landlords, scholastic admissions committees,\nand even friends and family. For this reason, it is wise to consider\nexpungement in your state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to a Criminal Record Expungement Lawyer TODAY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delewislaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/David-E.-Lewis-Attorney-at-Law-e1500481243941-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"David E.
