How long will a DUI stay on my driving record in Minnesota?
I have a DUI on my Minnesota driving record that’s shot my insurance rate through the roof. How long will the conviction stay on my record and affect my premium?

A
DWI charge
, or driving while intoxicated, in Minnesota
will stay on your driving record for life and cannot be expunged. A conviction for a DWI is also enhanceable, which means it can be used against you to make another offense more serious if it occurs within 10 years.
In Minnesota, the penalties for a DWI are classified into two categories: administrative and criminal.
- Administrative penalties are immediate penalties like license revocation, vehicle forfeiture, or plate impoundment
- Criminal penalties are categorized by degrees—first to fourth, with first-degree being the most serious.
The severity of the penalties depends on a few factors:
- A previous DWI offense within the last ten years
- The presence of one or more passengers under 16
- Blood alcohol content at or above 0.16%
With an alcohol-related conviction on your Minnesota driving record, you can expect your insurance rates to increase. But if you shop around with
