If Convicted of DUI in Massachusetts

• Any DUI conviction in Massachusetts will permanently show up on your driving record, which contains all criminal violations. A DUI on the driving record can be used as evidence in any subsequent criminal cases in Massachusetts or another state.
  
  

Sealing Records

• DUIs cannot be expunged from driving records, but very infrequently can be sealed as part of a criminal record. Background checks can uncover a DUI conviction that is part of a sealed criminal record.
  
  

If Not Convicted of DUI

• If you are not convicted of a DUI, the charge will not be part of your permanent driver's record. However, the charge or any DUI arrest may show up in a background check.
