Yes. By definition, a conviction is the jury or judge declaring a person guilty of a criminal offense. While an arrest for a DUI in Florida does not necessarily mean that the person will be convicted, the state considers it to be a serious offense with correspondingly severe penalties.

A misdemeanor or felony DUI conviction in Florida can result in fines between $500 and $10,000; 6 months to 4 years of incarceration, mandatory substance abuse counseling, license revocation, and other penalties. Certain circumstances, such as the driver causing property damage, bodily injury, or death can increase the penalties given.

All convictions appear on your criminal record, unless you are eligible to have the offense expunged. However, eligibility requirements are strict. You can apply for this process if the charges were dropped or dismissed, there were charges filed, or you were found not guilty.
