Well now, almost another year has passed and with it comes a new cycle of increased Motor Vehicle Driving Records fees from the Department of Motor Vehicles in different states. As I realize that truckers and transportation companies need these MVRs as essential background checks to comply with DOT standards, please take a note of the forthcoming increases.
Effective September 1st, 2010, the Great State of New Mexico will increase Driver License Records from $4.95 to $6.50 per record. I always loved the $4.95 as if they were selling pantyhose instead of driving record background checks. That said, the increased fee is not too bad, not when compared to the price increases in Hawaii and Oklahoma.
As of August 1st, 2010, the Great State of West Virginia bumped up the pricing on its MVRs from $8.00 to $9.00 per driving record search.
Please take note of the increased fees on these two background checks. With the economy as it is, and with states suffering from budget constraints, more increases will be forthcoming, I’m sure.
