Is a DUI ever erased from the courts even if it was 30yrs ago?

Go the Clerk of the Court of the county you received your DUI. This is all public record and have them or you can use their computers and run your name. If it appears then you will have to do the following.... In the county I live in your DUI record will remain part of the courts records. You will have to go to the Clerk of the Court and Motion for Expungement asking to expungement the court record and the police record - the department where the report was taken. Once granted, follow through with taking the signed court order to the police department. What this means is that if anyone runs your record it will not appear anymore. The courts require some valid reason you don't want it on there anymore. i.e., applying for jobs that require your driving skills and the DUI showing up will hinder your chances of employment. Hope this helps you.
