Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) Search - Driving History

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. We recommend screening motor vehicle records for any employment position requiring driving, such as trucking, delivery, or any use of company vehicles.

Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) offer driving history information including insurance lapses, license suspensions, revocations, accidents, traffic violations, and unpaid, or unanswered summons. The MVR report can flag Driving Under the Influence (DWI or DUI) charges and other potential substance abuse problems.
