RECORDS GUIDE
Everything you need to know about obtaining and understanding your official driving history, with direct links to every state’s DMV portal.
OVERVIEW
WHAT IS A DRIVING RECORD?
A driving record — also called a motor vehicle report (MVR) or driver abstract — is an official document maintained by your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Department of Transportation (DOT) that details your full driving history.
Records are typically available in different timeframes: 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, or complete history, depending on your state and your specific needs.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
WHAT YOUR RECORD CONTAINS
- Personal information (name, address, date of birth)
- Driver’s license number, class, status, and expiration date
- Traffic violations and citations
- Accidents you’ve been involved in
- License suspensions, revocations, or cancellations
- Points accumulated against your license
- DUI/DWI convictions
- Special license classifications or restrictions
Employment
Many employers require MVRs for positions involving company vehicles, transportation, delivery, or logistics roles.
Insurance Rates
Insurers review your driving record when calculating premiums. A clean record typically results in lower rates at renewal.
Personal Verification
Checking your own record lets you spot and correct errors before they affect your insurance rates or employment eligibility.
