FAQs

  • What Is A Motor Vehicle Record?

    A Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), also known as a driving record, is a document issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in many U.S. states. It includes a history of a person's driving events. Information in an MVR may include:


    • Driver's License Status: Validity of the license, class, restrictions, and endorsements.
    • Traffic Violations: Includes speeding tickets, DUIs, and other traffic-related violations.
    • Accident Reports: Any accidents involving the driver.
    • License Suspensions or Revocations: Times when the driver's license was suspended or revoked.
    • Points Accumulated: Many states use a point system for traffic violations, and these would appear on the MVR.

    Access to MVRs is usually restricted and regulated by privacy laws. They're often used by employers and insurance companies to assess a driver's risk.

  • How To Get Motor Vehicle Record?

    Obtaining a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) varies by location, but generally involves the following steps:


    1. Visit Your Local DMV: Go to your state's Department of Motor Vehicles' website.
    2. Request a MVR: Find the page for requesting a MVR. Some states have an online request form, others may require you to mail or fax a request, or visit a DMV office in person.
    3. Provide Necessary Information: This typically includes your full name, driver's license number, and sometimes additional identifying information.
    4. Pay the Fee: There is usually a fee associated with obtaining a MVR. This can vary from state to state.
    5. Receive the MVR: Depending on your state, you may receive the MVR immediately online, or it may be mailed to you.

  • Are Motor Vehicle Records Public?

    Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs) are not public in the sense that anyone can view them. They contain personal information and are therefore protected by privacy laws. However, certain entities can obtain MVRs with a legitimate purpose and proper consent, including:


    Insurance Companies: To assess risk and determine rates.

    Employers: Especially those hiring for a driving-related position.

    Government Agencies: For regulatory or legal purposes.

    The person to whom the MVR pertains can also request their own record. Anyone seeking access to an MVR must typically demonstrate a valid reason and may need the individual's consent, depending on the jurisdiction's laws.
