When does a DUI show up on your driving record?

I just got a DUI a few days ago in California, but I haven’t been notified of any major changes in my record. How long does it take for a DUI to show up on your driving record?

When you’re convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), the violation should appear on your record as soon as you’re convicted. Of course, the courts need to process the paperwork so it may take a week or so for the
DUI
to appear on your official record.
Remember, DUIs stay on your record for 10 years after the conviction in
California
. While some violations may be expunged from your record, DUI’s cannot be removed from your driving record.
After any traffic violation, it’s likely that your car insurance rate will increase significantly. But a DUI could cause your car insurance to increase by as much as 74%. Since most providers won’t change your rate until your policy comes up for renewal, it may take a few months to see any major changes.
