Background DUI Check

A driving under the influence conviction (DUI) can stay on your record for a number of years. The amount of time a DUI may remain on your record depends upon the laws in the state in which you were convicted. Many states allow a person convicted of a DUI to request that the record be "expunged" after a prescribed minimum number of years.

Just as the amount of time a DUI may remain on your record varies from state to state, so do the penalties and fines. Understanding the DUI laws in your state is extremely important. As a licensed driver it is your responsibility to know and obey all of the traffic laws that govern the state(s) in which you drive. Visit your state DMV website to learn about your local traffic laws.

Because your traffic and criminal records are public information, anyone can access them. At Intelius we offer a background check you can run on yourself that uncovers this information as well as other pertinent facts that many employers, insurance providers and institutions might use to determine if they will hire, insure or admit a person for higher education. Knowing what is on your record helps you be prepared and informed the next time someone runs your background check. You should note that no potential employer or insurer can do a background check on you without your authorization and right to review the report they receive for accuracy under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Whether you have a DUI, a speeding ticket, or another driving infraction it is in your best interest to know what is on your driving and criminal records. The amount of time a conviction or citation stays on your record varies state by state. Avoid surprises next time you apply for a job by running your own Self Check Driving Record Report.
