Expungement doesn’t erase your DUI as if it never happened. Instead, it removes the conviction from public records, meaning most employers, landlords, and the general public won’t see it when they run a background check. However, law enforcement and courts can still access it, and it may still count as a prior offense if you get another DUI.

For many people, the biggest reason to expunge a DUI is employment. Many employers conduct background checks, and a DUI can be a red flag, especially for jobs that require driving or involve trust and responsibility. An expungement means you can legally say you haven’t been convicted of a crime on most job applications.

Expungement can also help with housing and loan applications. Some landlords and lenders view a DUI as a sign of irresponsibility, which can make it harder to rent an apartment or get a loan with good terms.

Additionally, while a DUI can impact your auto insurance rates for several years, an expungement doesn’t directly change this. However, it may help in the long run by reducing the stigma associated with your record.

The process of expunging a DUI varies by state, but it typically involves filing paperwork, potentially attending a court hearing, and paying legal fees. Some people may need an attorney to navigate the process, adding to the cost.

However, compared to the long-term consequences of having a DUI on your record, expungement is often well worth it. The ability to apply for jobs, housing, and financial opportunities without the weight of a DUI conviction can be life-changing.
