How are you going to explain that she had your ID? Maybe you gave it to her to use as a fake ID? You could both be in trouble. And both of you absolutely need to contact an attorney right away. If you go to court alone, the judge will need to verify who is who. You could be detained until after fingerprints are taken and compared to the records and they may even take a look at the booking photo from the night of the arrest. And later you'll will need to get paperwork from the court that she is not you (just in case there is ever another case or another warrant for her arrest).

I'm now in the process of applying for a new job, and they ask if I was convicted of any felonies, do I have to let them know about my DUI charge?

Did you have any felonies prior to the March 2011 incident? If you were not charged in court that means there never was a case against you. The DMV is not a court. It has no District Attorney. It can't charge and "convict" you of a misdemeanor not to mention a felony. It can look at the record and undertake administrative proceedings. The DMV gave you notice of what they wanted to do and offered you a hearing for you to explain/defend yourself.

This is a misdemeanor. So there can be jail and or fines. You will either have to post bail and appear, your appea rance can be done by an attorney, or you will have to go to the jail and appear in court in the afternoon or the next day if you do not turn yourself in early enough.
