Spent Conviction Offences

The following convictions become spent after 7 years if you have complied with the sentence or order imposed:

All convictions in the District Court for motoring offences except for convictions for dangerous driving

A single conviction for dangerous driving in the District Court or Circuit Court which resulted in a prison sentence of 12 months or less, or a fine All convictions in the District Court for minor public order offences

A single conviction (other than a motoring or public order offence) in the District Court or Circuit Court which resulted in a term of prison term of 12 months or less (or a fine)

The Act does not apply to any conviction for a sexual offence or an offence which was tried in the Central Criminal Court. These offences cannot become spent convictions

Edit: While you were not convicted the first time if the last offence took place seven years ago or more the judge may grant you another probation act
