Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to questions our team gets most often. Each answer gives clear steps, real office names, and what to expect when you search Florida DUI records. These answers cover the most common search, court, and driving record questions from Florida residents and out-of-state users.
How do I look up DUI records in Florida?
You can look up DUI records in Florida through three main sources. The FLHSMV gives you driving records that show DUI convictions and license actions. The FDLE gives you criminal history reports that show arrests and dispositions. The county Clerk of Court gives you court case files. For most users, the county clerk search is the fastest free option. Start at the clerk website for the county where the DUI happened.
Are Florida DUI records public?
Yes, most Florida DUI records are public. Court case files from county clerks are public under Florida law. Driving records from FLHSMV are also public if you pay the fee and the subject gives consent or qualifies under state law. Some DUI records are sealed or expunged by court order. Sealed records do not show up in public searches.
Can I search Florida DUI records for free?
Yes, you can search Florida DUI court records for free through county clerk online portals. The FLHSMV gives free driving record checks for the account holder. FDLE charges a small fee for criminal history searches. Free searches show basic case data. Certified copies cost money.
What shows up on a Florida DUI background check?
A Florida DUI background check shows arrests, charges, dispositions, convictions, and sentences for DUI cases. It also shows related offenses like DUI with property damage, DUI with bodily injury, and DUI manslaughter if they exist. The full record depends on the search type: driving record, criminal history, or court file.
How long does a DUI stay on a Florida record?
A DUI conviction stays on your Florida driving record for at least 75 years under FLHSMV rules. The record never drops off automatically. DUI convictions also stay on your criminal history permanently unless a court orders them sealed or expunged. Sealing or expungement requires a court petition and approval.
Can I get a DUI case sealed in Florida?
Yes, you can ask a Florida court to seal a DUI case under certain conditions. First-time DUI offenders who completed probation may qualify for a sealing. You cannot seal a DUI that caused death or serious injury. You also cannot seal a DUI if you have prior criminal cases. Talk to a Florida attorney about your case.
Do you pull official DUI records for me?
No, our office does not pull official DUI records on your behalf. We are a private information site, not a government office. We help you learn how to search Florida DUI records and point you to the right county, state, or court office. Official records come only from FLHSMV, FDLE, or the county Clerk of Court.
