DUI / DWI

criminal background check

A DUI/DWI conviction will appear on a criminal background check requested by a prospective employer, landlord, or licensing authority, for example. Generally, the only way to remove a DUI/DWI conviction from appearing in some or all of such background checks is to have it expunged or sealed—which is only possible in limited circumstances.

In North Dakota, a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) conviction is a matter of public record and will appear on a criminal background check. This can affect an individual's opportunities when it comes to employment, housing, or obtaining certain licenses. Expungement or sealing of criminal records in North Dakota is possible under certain conditions, which may allow for the removal of a DUI/DWI conviction from public records, thus preventing it from appearing on background checks. However, North Dakota law is quite strict regarding expungement, and it is only available in limited circumstances, such as for first-time offenders or after a certain period has passed without subsequent offenses. It's important to consult with an attorney to understand the specific eligibility criteria and the process for seeking expungement in North Dakota.
