How Long Will DUI Stay On My Record in Ohio
Reader’s Question:
In Ohio, how long will my DUI remain on my Motor Vehicle Record?
Kettering, OH
Being convicted of a 1st time DUI in Ohio comes with the following penalties:
- Administrative License Suspension (ALS) for a prohibited BAC;
- ALS for test refusal = one year license suspension;
- Jail – Minimum of three consecutive days or 3-day driver intervention program;
- Court License Suspension – 6 months to 3 years.
- Fine – Minimum $200 and not more than $1,000;
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) states that there is no section of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) that states convictions ever removed of a driver history. However, an administrative decision is in effect that permits for Driver Abstracts to only reflect the last 3 years driver record activity.
So it would appear that a drunk driving conviction will stay on your Ohio driving record indefinitely but you can verify with the BMV to find out for sure.

The DUI in Ohio is listed at least 6 years on your driver’s record since it is noted by the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) that it is considered a first DUI violation if you are found driving with a prohibited alcohol concentration or drug of abuse with no prior OVIs within the last six years on the driving history. It is considered a second offense if you have at least 1 prior OMVI within the last six years on the driving record.
From the information from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) there is no information of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) that states regarding infractions being removed of a driver record. But, an administrative decision is in effect that permits for Driver Abstracts to only reflect the last 3 years motorist record activity.
So it looks like that a DUI conviction will stay on any OH driving record that the BMV started for you indefinitely but you can verify with the BMV to find out for sure about your situation with you being an out of state resident.
