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 Nebraska, a DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while intoxicated) conviction is a criminal offense 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. Nebraska law allows for the expungement or sealing of criminal records in certain circumstances, which can remove the conviction from public criminal background checks. However, the eligibility for expungement of a DUI/DWI conviction is limited and typically depends on factors such as the severity of the offense, the time that has elapsed since the conviction, and the individual's criminal history. It's important to consult with an attorney to understand the specific requirements and process for seeking expungement in Nebraska.
