Expunge Arrest Record
Before you can expunge your drinking and driving arrest record, you must wait 7 to 10 days after your case has been dismissed to request a records check from the your local Police ID Office. In most circumstances, there is a processing fee. If your case is dismissed, found not guilty or nolle prossed, you may file for an expungement to have the charge removed from your arrest record after 10 days. Please call the court for extra information (if needed).
If you have attended in a Court Diversionary Program and your case was dismissed upon finishing, you may file for an expungement of your record. If you are found guilty and there are no further arrests or convictions in a three year period, you may be qualified for an expungement of your record, based on the charge. Convictions of DUI, DUS and Criminal Domestic Violence ahead of specific dates according to state specific drugged driver laws are not allowed for expungement.
You then have to take or mail your records check and a self addressed stamped envelope to the Clerk of Court to request an expungement. A fee may be charged if the disposition of your case is not "dismissed", "nol-prossed", or "not guilty." This process of arrest record expungement will take 10 to 14 days.
