In Indiana, it is possible to file for an expungement to remove a DUI from your criminal record, but the expungement process has limitations. After a waiting period of five years for misdemeanors and eight years for felonies, you can file for an expungement, which allows you to hide your public records and makes it illegal for employers, landlords, and others to use your past against you. However, your criminal record will never be completely wiped away as expungements in Indiana are considered “soft” and a past DUI can still be used against you in court in certain circumstances. On the other hand, a DUI has the potential to stay on your driving record for life, but in some cases it may be possible to remove it. If you have any questions about how long a DUI stays on your record in Indiana, give the Marc Lopez Law Firm a call at 317-632-3642.
