Yes, but Rhode Island requires a 10-year waiting period after completion of sentence for first-time DUI expungement, which is significantly longer than the 5-year wait for most other misdemeanor expungements. The Attorney General's office frequently objects to DUI expungement petitions, particularly when the BAC was high or aggravating factors were present. You must have no subsequent convictions during the 10-year waiting period. Multiple DUI convictions cannot be expunged. If your case was dismissed or resolved through diversion without a conviction, the record may be eligible for automatic expungement under the Second Chance Law without the long waiting period.
