Can I clear my driving record?

Many people are concerned about their past traffic violations and usually ask "Can I clear my driving record?" The answer is yes but it depends on the traffic violation. If you committed a serious traffic violation you may not be able to clean it.

Another common question is "The DMV confirmed my record is clean, but I find my driving record is still not updated" This is normal as new information takes time to propagate in all databases and reflect your new "clean driver" status. The best option is to contact the respective public record providers and ask them to update your profile. On the other hand public record providers that use advance internet technology do not need to be contacted as they perform real time data search directly from DMV public record departments.
