, a DUI conviction
stays on your record for life. If you’re convicted of driving under the influence, you can also have your license suspended or restricted. While these offenses cannot be removed from your driving record, the points associated with them will expire after two years.

- Ignition interlock device (IID) (depends on the number of prior convictions)
- Background checks
