In the UK, a drink-driving conviction is considered spent after a certain period, which varies based on the sentence received. For a conviction resulting in a fine or community service, the rehabilitation period is typically 5 years. If imprisonment is involved, the period can extend to 10 years, depending on the length of the sentence. Once spent, the conviction does not need to be disclosed for most purposes, such as Job Applications.

If the conviction resulted in a custodial sentence, it will appear show up forever. If you have more than one conviction offence, they will all show forever.
