The statute of limitations is how long they have to file charges against you. If you're asking about how long they will stay on your record, that depends on your state law.

Did you go to court on them or they outstanding warrants? If you were convicted they stay on your record forever.

The convictions remain on your record forever.

No it is not forever. You may in fact be eligible to expunge those 2 priors. Contact a DUI specialist.

You need to avoid driving after drinking alcohol or taking a drug because your third offense will result in a ten year driver's license suspension and six months in jail.

In California it is 10 years for the purpose of prior convictions.

I think what you mean to ask if you can get the intoxicated driving charge removed from your public record. A Statute of Limitation deals with how long the prosecution has to press a charge against you. It appears that you have two convictions and want them removed from your public record. Because intoxicated driving is considered a traffic offense it cannot be expunged from your public record.

The statute of limitations was satisfied at arrest. Assuming you were convicted for either driving with impaired or driving under the influence these convictions do not seal and will stay on your record forever.
