It really never goes away. Of course, when you obtain your Michigan Master Driving Record, convictions beyond ten years may not be on it; however, the Secretary of State and police will have it on their lien systems. The reason is does not go away is because if you receive three drunk drivings in your lifetime, you can be charged as a felon, under Heidi's Law. You cannot get your drunk driving expunged either.

Driving offense cannot be expunged. So a intoxicated driving conviction will remain on your record.

This conviction will stay on your driving record permanently. However, there may be options to pursue. You should consult with an attorney to discuss all options available to you.

Whose report, a civilian or police request. I would suggest you have your record pulled and examine it. Additionally if your potential employer asked whether or not you have ever been convicted of a drinking and driving violations it does not matter when, and you have to answer accurately or you are subject to immediate dismissal if the ever they find out that your answers were not complete and correct.
