Can a DUI conviction be expunged from my record?
In Arizona, it is possible to have a DUI conviction expunged from your record. However, there are specific criteria that must be met in order for a conviction to be eligible for expungement. First, you must have been convicted at least two years prior to the date of filing for expungement. In addition, you must have completed all terms of probation and paid all associated fines and court costs. Furthermore, you must not have any pending criminal cases, and you must not have been arrested or convicted of any other crime since your DUI conviction. If you meet these criteria, then you may be eligible to have your DUI conviction expunged from your record. In order to file for expungement, you will need to complete a Petition for Expungement and submit it to the court. You must also include an Order for Expungement of Records. You may need to attend a hearing, and if the court grants your petition, your DUI conviction will be removed from your record. It is important to note that not all DUI convictions are eligible for expungement in Arizona. Generally, expungement is only available for first-time offenders and/or those whose convictions stem from incidents that occurred many years ago. Additionally, Arizona does not offer expungement for certain types of DUI convictions, such as those involving a minor or an intoxicated person who caused serious bodily injury or death.
