From my research on that a DUI conviction does not come off of your driving record in the State of Illinois. A DUI remains on your driver’s abstract for your lifetime.

According to the IL Secretary of State (SOS) traffic violations such as disregarding a traffic control light, improper lane usage, speeding, etc. stay on a driver’s record for 4-5 years from the date of infraction.

To check how long your insurance carrier can rate you for the DUI you can check with your insurance provider to verify how far back their “look back” period and verify with the IL Division of Insurance to check what state law says about this specific situation.
