If i have a felony dui in one state, will it still be a felony dui in a different state?


You cannot expunge a dui in Illinois, but if I relocate to a different state, will it be expungeable?

OK first off, a DUI is not a criminal offense it's a traffic offense. And it's a misdemeanor not a felony. I don't think you can ever get a DUI expunged off your record. They changed the laws (not sure when but a long time ago) so that it stays on your license no matter what state for at least75 years-so ya not the rest of your life, but might as well be. And the charges get worse the more DUI's you have.

no, you are a felon in all 50 states.

No, you have to file for an expungment in the jurisidication where you received the conviction. If IL gave it to you, they're the only ones who can clean it up.

no you are screwed no matter where you go, well except for canada.

No, because to get a charge expunged, you have to petition the court where the judgment was ordered.

Actually, depending on the state, previous DUI record and whether or not an accident resulting in injury was involved, a DUI CAN be considered a felony. If it's a first time DUI without serious injuries, it's normally not considered a felony.

Also, in Pennsylvania, if you successfully complete the ARD program the DUI can be expunged from your record (only police and courts can see it in case you f-up again). If you get another DUI within 10 years, it is treated as a 2nd DUI, but after that it's considered a 1st DUI.
