Hello need:
It'll stay there FOREVER. You can have it removed through an expungement, if your state law has provisions for it. You'll need an attorney to get it.

First I always ask why "no contest"?? I say this because it serves very little reason unless you are trying to protect yourself from a civil suit.
But it will remain on your record forever unless you get it expunged. Not all states allow it but you will need an attorney to begin the process.
