Record-clearing costs

Use this page to separate record-clearing costs from other DUI-related expenses and verify each amount with the lawyer, court, agency, insurer, or provider that actually charges it.

Documents or quotes to collect

  • Court filing fee
  • Certified record costs
  • Attorney quote if used
  • Fingerprint/background-record fee if required
  • Order/receipt

Questions before paying

  • What remedy is available?
  • Is there a filing fee waiver process?
  • Does the quote include all court appearances or only preparation?

Do not rely on a national average

DUI-related costs vary by jurisdiction, case stage, provider, and services actually used. A written local quote or official fee schedule is more useful than a national “average DUI cost.”
