How long does a DUI stay on your driving record in PA?
I got a DUI in Philadelphia after a night out with friends. While I’m already worried about the legal consequences, I want to know how this will affect me in the future. How long will a DUI stay on my driving record in Pennsylvania?

Since you already understand some of the residual effects of a DUI, there’s no need for a lecture. On top of legal, social, and employment ramifications, a DUI stays on your driving record in
Pennsylvania
for life.However, if a silver lining exists, it’s that you can apply for expungement after 10 years if you maintain a relatively clean driving record. This means you can’t get:
- A license suspension
- Another DUI
- A reckless driving charge
- Vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide
When you get a DUI, you also face:
- A $300 fine
- Mandatory alcohol highway safety school
- Up to six months probation
- Alcoholism treatment, if ordered by the court
