Do I have a driving record if I don't have any citations?
What is in a Driving Record?
Yes, you do have a driving record even if you don’t have any citations. Driving records are maintained on all drivers by each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. Driving records contain more than just citations; they contain all kinds of personally-identifying information, although some of this information is restricted by privacy laws.Driving records are established when you get licensed by a state to drive. So even if you have a clean citation history, you still have a driving record. Anyone accessing your driving record will see that you have no citations listed, and that’s a good thing.
- Other information available on your driving record includes:
- Name and social security number
- Height and weight
- Address and phone number
If you receive any citations or driving-related convictions, they will eventually appear on your driving record. You can sometimes remove these, or the accompanying points (if your state uses points) by taking a driver's ed or traffic school class.
Whether you have any citations or not, it’s always a good idea to periodically check to see what’s on your driving record. Accessing your driving record online is quick and easy and will save you a lot of time and effort, particularly if you are planning to apply for a job requiring a clean record.
