text: DUI is not a national law, each state has their own statute(s) dealing with it.\n\nYour question isn't especially clear, I'm afraid.  You got a DUI in California, and without knowing when you're going to move to New York, you want us to tell you if your record will be cleaned up?\n\nA DUI conviction will ordinarily stay on your California driving record for ten years.  I don't know if that's the answer you were looking for, but it's the only one I can come up with based on your question.
