HOW LONG DOES A DUI STAY ON YOUR RECORD?

When people are convicted in Nevada of a first-time or second-time misdemeanor DUI, the case must remain on their criminal record for at least seven years after the case ends. Once those seven years pass, they are usually free to pursue a criminal record seal. The record seal process itself takes a few months.

However, when people are convicted in Nevada of a felony DUI – which is either a third-time DUI in seven years or a DUI causing injury or death – then the conviction remains on their criminal record permanently. It may not be sealed.

Having a criminal record with a charge for driving under the influence looks bad to potential employers. Therefore, it is very important that people facing DUI charges retain counsel to try to get the charge reduced to reckless driving – which has only a 1 year record seal waiting time. And if the prosecutor agrees to totally dismiss the charge, then the defendant can pursue a record seal immediately.
