How long does a DUI stay on a California driving record?

Answer 1

A DUI stays on your record for 10 years.

The length of time depends on the severity of the offense. Most points (illegal turn, not making a complete stop, driving over the speed limit, etc.) and/or accidents will stay on your driver record for 36 months (3 years). Points for more serious offenses, such as hit-and-run or a DUI, will stay on your record for 10 years."

How long does DMV report actions or convictions on driver license records?

• Most convictions of traffic offenses, such as hit and run, reckless driving, and driving under the influence (DUI) will remain on your record for 10 years from the violation date and count as 2 points.
• Most other traffic offense convictions will remain on your record for 3 years from the violation date and count as 1 point.
• Accidents are reported for 3 years from the accident date. If you are found to be At Fault, the accident normally counts as 1 point.
• Actions taken against your driving privilege, such as a suspension or revocation due to a DUI or a failure to provide proof of financial responsibility, will be reported for 3 years from the proof termination date or the reinstatement date, whichever is earlier.
• A Failure To Appear for DUI offenses will be reported for 10 years from the violation date. All other Failure To Appears and Failure to Pay fines will be reported for 5 years from the violation date.
