Thank you for asking Jasper.

Driving history provided by the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles reflect activity that has been retained for the last seven years. The CO DMV states that, records are for seven years and cannot be limited to show any time period less than seven years. The records are maintained in accordance with State and Federal law, which includes the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the requirements of the Federal Trade Commission.

From this CO DMV information it looks like that your DUI stays on your driving record for 7 years. You may contact DMV directly to verify if a DUI does not stay on for a longer period of time.

The penalties for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Colorado are the following:

* 12 points towards a suspension of your license
* $300-$1000 fine
* 5 days- 1 year of jail time
* 48 hours- 96 hours public/community service

Goodluck!
