Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) reports statewide driving records, including Commercial Driver's License status (CDL) for at least 3 years, oftentimes up to 7 years. Many states have varied input requirements for ordering motor vehicle record searches. Some states only require the drivers license number, and others require a full name, date of birth, and sometimes gender. We have prepared the following instructional sheet below to assist with your motor vehicle record (MVR) ordering.
