Once again we would like to give you notice that another state has raised the price for its MVRs or Motor Vehicle Driving Records. The Kansas DMV or Department of Motor Vehicles it announced that it would be raising its price for the MVR abstracts a whopping dime. Ten cents.
As of February 2nd, 2010, the price for MVR driving abstracts will increase from $6.50 per background search to $6.60. This is certainly good news for trucking and transportation companies who need to pull MVRs on their drivers to meet Department of Transportation or DOT compliance standards. It is also good for the employers us pull motor vehicle records searches as another background check to supplement their overall preemployment screening program. The MVR not only helps review drivers for insurance considerations but can reveal behavior patterns, including behavior patterns as evidenced by DUIs.
The MVR background check is essential for some employers and prudent for others. While the states suffer budgetary constraints from the economic downturn, we can expect the cost of MVRs to increase. Some states have raised prices more than others. I have noted the price changes in previous articles, including A Reminder About State MVRPrice Increases.
Nevertheless, considering the potential consequences, this background check still remains a bargain.
