Question Details: Had 3 DUI's last was in 1999. I'm planning on moving to North Carolina in a couple of weeks. Will I be able to get NC licenses. Are these DUI"S still on my driving record?
A DUI conviction stays on your record permanently. In North Carolina however, by virtue of something known as the "look back period", any prior DUI committed more than 7 years ago, is not considered when imposing a sentence for a subsequent DUI; the latter offense will be treated as your first offense since the court will only "look back" 7 years into your record.
As for whether or not you will be entitled to obtain a North Carolina license the answer is probably. You really need, however, to consult directly with an attorney in the area where you move to to find out for sure.

Are you a lawyer?
