Do I disclose an old DUI before a background check?

I interviewed and got an offer. At no point, have I been asked if I have a criminal record and the initial application did not ask. I accepted the offer and will have to undergo a background check. Should I call the recruiter back and disclose my DUI in advance of the background check? I assume that I can disclose it on the background check form. I'm really not sure what to do and I don't want it to seem like I'm hiding it, but the topic has not even come up yet. Also this job is not a driving job, its a desk job although there might be some self travel involved. The DUI happened in 2018.
