How long does it take to check a drivers license status?

New Driver Checklist

How fast is your computer? If you check drivers license status via an online service, you should receive a driving record, with all of your driving information (points, citations, suspensions...), within seconds of ordering. If you order by mail, it obviously will take days to receive.

Fortunately, you have plenty of online services to choose from. There are many private companies specializing in driving records, requiring nothing more than your name and a credit card. Most DMV sites also offer driving records, with many providing a list of different records to choose from. In Texas, for example, the Department of Public Safety offers driving records based on the following categories: Status Record, Three-Year History, List of All Accidents and Violations, Certified Three-Year History, Certified List of All Accidents and Violations and Certified Abstract of Driving Record.

If you're uncertain of the current status of your license, a driving record could save you money and preserve your driving privileges. For instance, if you're unaware you are one point away from exceeding your state’s allowed point total, you’ll think twice about speeding. Or maybe you’ll look into the possibility of having points trimmed from your record by enrolling in a traffic school.
