How can I see what's on my driving record?
Accessing Driving Records
Every individual has the right to access their driving record from any state that maintains such a record. To do so, you can contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles directly to find out how to request your driving record, or you can obtain your driving record fast and easily by ordering online.
What Records Contain
In each state, the Department of Motor Vehicles maintains driving records for all drivers licensed in that state. If you are licensed to drive in any state in the country, your driving record contains a complete driving history, including any history of driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), hit and run, reckless driving, accidents, moving violations, suspensions and revocations, among others. The length of time a violation appears on the driving record varies by violation and by state, yet it is common for more serious convictions, such as a DUI, to remain on a driving record for up to 10 years. Most moving violations and accidents remain on a driving record for up to 3 years.Driving records also contain numerous personal and identifying items, such as driver's name, address, phone number, social security number, driver identification number, photograph, height, weight, gender, age, certain medical or disability information, and in some states, fingerprints. However, federal and state privacy laws restrict who can access your private information when accessing your driving record.
Get a Copy
If you would like to know what others, such as a prospective employer, will see on your driving record, you can obtain a copy of your driving record online. Ordering your driving record online is fast and easy and can save you long waits at your DMV.
