Example DUI Orem Center Street: You just got a DUI on Orem Center Street. You lost your license at the initial driver’s license division administrative hearing. You pled to Impaired Driving and got license back. You are in the process of going to treatment and paying your court fines. You are on 12 months of court probation.
Forever Unless You Expunge It. A Utah DUI stays on your record forever until you expunge it under the Utah Expungement Act. Utah Code 77-40a-101. DUI expungements are not automatic and certainly don’t land under Utah’s new Clean Slate Act (automatic expungements).
Waiting Period 10 Years + Probation. The waiting period to expunge your Utah DUI is 10 years after the case closes successfully. This is called “10 years plus probation.” So it’s actually 13 years or more.
CRITICAL: If you don’t successfully complete probation, you can never expunge your Utah DUI.
CRITICAL: If you fail to pay fines or restitution, you can never expunge your Utah DUI. See Utah Code 77-40a-303(1)(c)(i).
Felony DUIs. Felony Utah DUIs are never eligible for expungement. You first have to run a 402 sentence reduction and reduce the felony DUI to a
Misdemeanor DUI Class A. Then it can be eligible for expungement. See Utah Code 77-40a-303(2)(a)(iv).
