Understanding DUI Expungement in Pennsylvania

A DUI on your record can create long-term consequences—limiting employment opportunities, professional licensing, or even access to housing. Fortunately, Pennsylvania law allows for certain DUI-related offenses to be expunged, which means they can be removed from your criminal history under specific conditions.

At the Law Office of Steven F. O’Meara, our expungement attorney helps clients throughout Delaware County understand if they’re eligible, and guides them through the necessary court procedures to clear their record.

Am I Eligible for DUI Expungement?

Expungement eligibility in Pennsylvania is not automatic. However, several situations may qualify:

  • You completed the ARD Program
    If your DUI charge was resolved through Pennsylvania’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program and you successfully completed all requirements, you’re often eligible to have the arrest expunged.
  • Your charges were dismissed or you were found not guilty
    If your DUI case ended without a conviction, expungement may be possible—even if the arrest remains on file.
  • You’re over the age of 70 with a clean record
    Individuals over 70 who haven’t had any arrests or prosecutions for at least 10 years may qualify.
  • You received a pardon
    If you’ve been granted a pardon from the governor, the DUI conviction may be expunged following a petition to the court.

Even if your situation doesn’t fall into one of these categories, there may be alternative legal remedies available, including record sealing or limited access petitions. Every case is unique—and a consultation with a knowledgeable Delaware County criminal defense attorney can help clarify your path forward.

What Is the Process for DUI Expungement?

Expunging a DUI in Pennsylvania involves several key steps:

  1. Review of Eligibility
    Your attorney will evaluate your case history and determine whether you qualify under state law.
  2. Petitioning the Court
    If eligible, we’ll draft and file a formal expungement petition with the court in the appropriate jurisdiction.
  3. Hearing (if required)
    Some cases require a hearing before a judge. We’ll represent you and present evidence in support of your petition.
  4. Record Clearance
    Once granted, the expungement order is sent to relevant law enforcement and court agencies to remove or seal your record.

The timeline varies, but having an experienced expungement attorney near you ensures the process is handled efficiently and properly.

    DUI DEFENSE

    Did You Know?

    Thanks to recent updates to Pennsylvania’s Clean Slate Law, even more people may now be eligible to have their criminal records sealed or cleared—giving them a real second chance. As of 2024, Clean Slate automatically seals eligible criminal records, including certain low-level misdemeanors and summary offenses, after a specific waiting period with no new convictions.

    But here’s what many people don’t realize: DUI convictions are not sealed automatically. If you have a DUI on your record, especially one that was not eligible for Clean Slate, you may still need to pursue expungement through the courts.

    That’s where an experienced expungement lawyer can help. At the Law Office of Steven F. O’Meara, we walk clients through their options under both Clean Slate and traditional expungement laws—making sure no opportunity to clear your record is missed.
