In Ohio the DUI is listed at least 6 years on your driver's history since it is noted by the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) that it is considered a first DUI offense if you are found operating a vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration or drug of abuse with no prior OVIs within the last 6 years on the driving record. It is considered a second offense if you have at least one prior OMVI within the last 6 years on the driving record.

According to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) there is no section of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) that states convictions ever come off of a driver record. However, an administrative decision is in effect that allows for Driver Abstracts to only reflect the last three years driver record activity.

So it would appear that a DUI conviction will remain on any OH driving record that the BMV started for you indefinitely but you can check with the BMV to fine out for certain about your situation with you being an out of state resident.

In Kentucky, your driver’s license record is maintained by the Transportation Cabinet, Division of Driver Licensing. This agency keeps track of all traffic citations, accidents, suspensions, reinstatements, and assignments to traffic school.

The KY driver's manual states that convictions of violations remain a part of your driver’s record for a period of five (5) years for an operator’s license and ten (10) years for a commercial driver’s license. It does not specifically mention DUIs here though so you may want to contact the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to see if a DUI offense from out of state will be placed on your KY. If it is then they should also be able to tell you if it will remain on your driving record for 5 years or for a longer period of time due to the seriousness of the offense.
