text: does law of dui (driving under the influence) change from state to state? i got a dui in ca and want to move to ny but i am wondering if  my record will be cleaned up when i move there. i need some serious information. please dont answer yes or no.. dui is not a national law, each state has their own statute(s) dealing with it.  your 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?  a 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.
