Can I expunge a DUI conviction from my record?

In Minnesota, it is possible to expunge a DUI conviction from your record as long as certain criteria are met. Expungement is an order from the court that seals your court record and requires the police and court to destroy your records, so it is not publically accessible. In order to qualify for expungement, you must first have completed all the terms of your sentence. This includes paying all fines and court fees, as well as any other requirements imposed by the court. You must also not have had any other criminal offense convictions in the past 5 years, apart from minor traffic violations. If you meet these criteria, you may then submit a petition to have your DUI conviction expunged. The court will then review your petition and decide whether or not to grant the expungement. If the court grants the expungement, it will order the destruction of all records of your DUI conviction. In most cases, court and police records will be removed from public view and access. Expungement is not always available for DUI charges, and it is important to seek legal advice before filing a petition. It is important to note that expungement does not erase the conviction entirely; it only removes it from public access. In some cases, the DUI conviction may still be taken into consideration for future legal proceedings.
