QUESTION:
I committed a felony 15 years ago and I’m trying to clear my record cuz I want to try to get my license but I don’t know if that’s going to bring me trouble my felony was about drugs
ANSWER:
Suffering a felony conviction generally does not prevent a person from acquiring a California driver’s license. The DMV will not issue you a license if you have an active warrant, but if your case is closed, this shouldn’t be a problem. The only other potential problem would be if the DMV felt that you were at some point adjudged to be a “drug addict.” Short Answer – Your fifteen-year-old felony probably won’t stop you from getting a license.
