How long will a DUI stay on my driving record in Tennessee?
My friends and I were in downtown Nashville, and well, things got a bit crazy…and I ended up with a DUI. Will a DUI conviction ever come off of my Tennessee driving record?

We’re sad to report that a DUI stays on your driving record in Tennessee for life. You can be charged with a DUI if you drive with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or more, and the consequences are no walk in the park.
- Fined $350 and $1,500
- Revoked license for one year
- Ignition Interlock Device with restricted license (minimum $1,000)
- Imprisonment for 48 hours to 12 months
- Mandatory treatment program
Tennessee also has something called a “look-back period,” which means if your first DUI is over 10 years old, it won’t count toward the punishment if you commit a second offense—because repeat offenses come with more serious consequences.
