After expungement, a criminal conviction usually does not need to be disclosed by the person convicted, and no arrest or conviction shows up if a potential employer, educational institution, or government agency conducts a background search of an individual's public records.

In certain legal proceedings, such as during sentencing for any future crimes, when you expunge your DUI it may be considered as proof of a "prior conviction."
