The answer depends on what record you mean.

This article explains how diversion appears in Missouri and Kansas systems.

If Diversion Is Completed Successfully

Typically:

• No conviction is entered

• Insurance companies often don’t see a moving violation

• The case is dismissed

If Diversion Fails

If conditions are violated:

• The conviction is entered

• Insurance impact follows

• License consequences may apply

Failure does the opposite.
