Its on your criminal record for life. As for your car insurance? Mine is 3 years. Some places are different. The lowest I found was 3 years.

Different states have different statutes regarding how long a DUI conviction remains on your record. For most it is 10 years. HOWEVER, on the pilot medical certificate application, and every pilot emplotment application you're likely to fill out, they ask if you have EVER been arrested for DUI, whether or nor the conviction stuck. This is not the same as asking if you currently have a violation on your record within the past 10 years. If you say yes, you're pretty much screwed and cannot expect to get hired, especially with multiple convictions. If you say no and then you are later found out, the penalty for lying on a federal application is far worse than the original DUI punishment you received in terms of fines and potential jail time. If you say yes on a medical application, you can still get a medical, but your answers are a permanent lifetrime record that all airlines have access to, so in that case you might hold a Class 1 medical but will probably will never get invited to an interview. The only way to find out what is on your record is to hire a company that does professional background checks and have them look long and hard at your record to see what they can turn up. Not only do they check the state and natonal driver's license databases, they also check state court records and medical records. It'll be worth the money to do this ahead of time to save yourself serious disappointment later down the road after making a significant investment in flight training. Sometimes things that should be expunged from a persons record aren't, even if the statute of limitations have passed. This happens quite often in fact, so it pays to be absolutely sure. Bottom line: do your homework and be totally sure your record is clean. As a precaution, pay for at least 2 separate background checks. In the long run it's worth it. There are companies that can also help you legally clean up your record in some instances, although there are no guarantees. What they can do is be sure that records which should have been expunged have been. And by the way, if you have a sketchy credit history, clean that up too. The airlines even check that. Bad credit is an indication that you are not trustworthy and they'll pass you over. Also, too many moving violations on your record is a red flag, as are any non-traffic misdemeanors or felonies. When there are more applicants than jobs, as there always are, the airlines can afford to be extremely choosey. FACT.

Probably Depends On Location But In Oklahoma It Will Always Be On Your Record, Unless It Is Expunged. And Your Second DUI Is A Felony Here too

The police keep a record of all arrests and DUI convictions, even if 20 years old. These "secrets of the past" will is open to anyone including credit agencies. Anybody can request the state police for a person's criminal record, even arrests with not guilty findings including DUI. Allowing access to a person's prior criminal conviction or arrest record could open the door for discrimination against someone who is currently a productive, respected, and law abiding citizen.
Fortunately, if you are a law abiding citizen, you can now have old arrests or convictions erased from public records and police folders. Past criminal convictions or a DUI can be "expunged' or erased under certain instances. For instance, if you were convicted or pleaded guilty to a disorderly person offense (misdemeanor type) more than 5 years ago, and have not been convicted of anything since, you can have your lawyer petition to the Superior Court for an Expungement (Erase and removal) of your criminal record

I believe in California it's 7 years, if your over 21. And 10 years if your under 21. However, if it's not expunged...it can/will haunt you for the rest of your life!
