Misdemeanor DUI convictions cannot be expunged from a criminal record for 7 years and then only if the sentence has been completed satisfactorily.

It is a time and money question which may not be related.

Some CA convictions can be 'expunged' from criminal records by proper application and Petition to the court, but only IF there was no felony prison time sentenced whether served or not, and if it was not for certain listed sexual crimes, and if all terms of sentencing and at least one year of probation are completed, and if there are no new charges pending.

Not going to happen. All auto related crimes are excluded from expungement under the statute.

You cannot expunge a case on which you were convicted.

Can only be expunged if the case was dismissed or not guilty. Paying a fine doesn't sound like that, so if it's a conviction, then can never be expunged.

It is not possible to expunge a DUI conviction. If you violate the terms of a Deferred Prosecution, the court can, and probably will revoke the Deferred Prosecution.

OUILs and other traffic offenses are never expungable. They will remain on your record forever.

Are you still on probation? If not you can try. Case may be civil judgment.
Answered on Aug 20th, 2012 at 6:18 PM
No can do. Your probation won't terminate if there are fines outstanding. And no expungement can be filed when probation is ongoing.

You probably will not be able to get it expunged until after all the conditions of your plea are met.

You need to take care of all terms and conditions of probation before a Judge will consider expunging your record. The fine is a part of terms and conditions of probation, thus you must pay the fine before you can have your record expunged.

Yes, if your case is closed. However, it may not be until you finish paying the fine.

DUIs are hard to get expunged. They have a 10 year waiting period so if 10 years hasn't passed then you can't get it expunged anyways. If 10 years has passed (from the time you finished probation), then you cannot get it expunged until you pay off the fine.
