Can I expunge a DUI conviction from my record?

In Pennsylvania, a DUI conviction can be expunged from your record through a process called expungement. This process allows individuals to have their criminal records cleared, meaning that the conviction will not be visible on record searches. To be eligible for expungement, your DUI conviction must have occurred more than five years ago and you must not have any other convictions on your record. If you are eligible for expungement, then you must file a Petition for Expungement with the court. In the petition, you will need to include information such as your name, the date of your DUI arrest or conviction, the criminal charge(s) that resulted from the arrest, and the outcome of the conviction. You will also need to include information on any subsequent convictions that you have received. Once you have submitted your Petition for Expungement to the court, the court will review your application and decide whether or not to grant you an expungement. If the court grants the expungement, then the DUI conviction will be removed from your record. If the court denies your Petition for Expungement, then you can appeal the decision. However, the court’s decision is usually final and you may not be able to have your DUI conviction expunged from your record.
