Can You Expunge a DUI in Indiana?

Having a DUI (OWI) conviction on your record in Indiana can significantly impact your life, affecting everything from employment opportunities and housing applications to your professional reputation. Fortunately, Indiana’s expungement laws provide an avenue for individuals to clear their DUI records, offering a chance for redemption and a fresh start.

In Indiana, DUI convictions, officially known as OWI (Operating While Intoxicated), can be expunged, but there are specific guidelines and waiting periods you must observe. For misdemeanor OWI convictions, you're eligible for expungement after a five-year waiting period from the date of your conviction, assuming you've maintained a clean record since then.

Level 6 felony OWI convictions, typically associated with repeat offenses or certain aggravating circumstances, carry an eight-year waiting period. However, with diligent preparation and proper guidance, these felonies may be reduced to misdemeanors first, potentially shortening your waiting period.

Recent amendments to Indiana law, have expanded expungement eligibility, allowing individuals to also clear collateral cases tied to their DUI charges. This development significantly broadens the scope of relief available, enabling you to fully reclaim your driving privileges and rebuild your reputation.
