Companies advertising free driving records abound on the Internet. If you opt to order a free driving history report you can expect the following information:

  • Drivers license number
  • License issue date
  • License expiration date
  • Name of driver
  • Driver's complete address
  • City, state and zip code where license was issued
  • Driver's date of birth
  • Driver's eye color
  • Organ donor information
  • License type
  • Accident history
  • Conviction information
  • Restriction information
  • Other related DMV records and documentation
The information is similar to the information you'll find on a paid driving history report. But the difference lies in sources. A paid report utilizes many more sources for gathering drivers license data, assuring that the information you read on your report is accurate and up to date. And this information includes current drivers license status, points, suspensions, accidents and more. 

If you decide to order a free report, take the time to research the company offering the report. Make sure it's legitimate and that there are no surprise fees. And try, if possible, to find where it obtains its information from. 

Ultimately, a paid driving history report may cost a few dollars, but with it you'll receive peace of mind.
