How far do the records go back on DMV reports?
A moving violation conviction or an accident will most likely remain on the record for three years depending on the state. Some states require the information to be available for 5 years and some required for 7 years. If the conviction is alcohol related it will remain on the record for a longer period of time depending on each state (ex: New York – 10 years). If there have been any serious convictions or accidents, they may remain on the record for more than ten years. Some suspensions that have not been cleared will remain on the record indefinitely.
