You can and should expunge a DUI conviction from your criminal record. It is important to note that a California expungement does not affect your DMV record.

California law allows you to have your DUI conviction expunged if you are:

• not currently facing any other charges
• not on probation for another offense
• your sentence did not involve state prison

If you are currently on probation you must wait until your probation is completed. You may also apply for early probation termination in order to get the expungement process started sooner. The law that defines probation termination is found in California Penal code 1203.3. If you were not placed on probation, you can have your record expunged one year after your conviction.

Certain driving offenses, like speed contests, extreme speeding, and reckless driving (even without alcohol), are also grouped together with DUIs and are expunged the same way. Take our free online expungement eligibility test to see if your DUI case qualifies for expungement.
