Background Checks and DUI Convictions in Oklahoma

Background checks are routine procedure for many things you may want or need: a job, a loan, or even a place to live. But did you know that a DUI conviction could keep you from reaching these goals?

What’s On a Background Check?

A background check contains information that a potential employer, lender, school or landlord needs to make a decision about creditworthiness and dependability, including:

• Employment history
• Credit history
• Criminal history

A DUI conviction is not something that most people take lightly, and having one on your record could make it very difficult or impossible for you to be hired, obtain a loan, get into a college or university or even qualify for a place to live.

 Is Expungement an Option?

Depending on the specifics of your case, it may be possible to have a DUI conviction expunged or removed from your record, which would mean that it would not show up on any future background checks.
