The Arizona Division of Motor Vehicles states that any convictions received and showing on your driving record within the past 39 months will be provided to an insurance carriers who requests a copy of your MVR.

The DPPA requires you to have a “permissible use” for requesting and receiving an MVD record which contains personal identifying information like a photograph/image, person’s driver license, social security number, driver license number, address, name and medical/disability information.

It will depend upon the rating system and the look back period of your insurance provider to know how long your car insurance rates will be affected by a DUI you were convicted of. If your insurance company can see the DUI on your MVR for 39 months then it will likely that you will have higher insurance rates during this entire period.
