In Mississippi a DUI conviction can result in fines, mandatory participation in alcohol education programs jail time and much more in a court case. Also, the MS Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend the your license for a period of time.
The Department of Public Safety requires SR-22 financial responsibility certificate policy once an individual is convicted of driving under the influence in Mississippi. The SR-22 auto insurance must be maintained for a period of three years in MS.
After the 3 year period, typically, the DUI conviction is removed from the driver’s record for insurance purposes. But the DUI will stay on the person’s driving record for five years for court and punishment purposes.
