In California, DUIs remain on your DMV record for 10 years and cannot be expunged from your DMV record. The DUI convictions may be expunged from the court records, at the discretion of a judge, but can still be used as enhancements for future DUI filings and convictions.

You need to have successfully completed the entire term of probation, have nothing criminal pending, and not be on probation for any other offense(s). Contact a lawyer to file the petition for expungement on your behalf.

So far as this general practice lawyer can tell, there is no provision in the law for an OWI conviction to be expunged. But why not just call an OWI lawyer (check the Yellow pages, or online at Avvo.com, or with your state bar) and ask if it can be expunged? You'll probably a quick, economical and reliable answer.
