A private company, not a government agency. How we differ from your state's DMV

DMV driving record

Your DMV record is the driving record your state's motor vehicle agency keeps on you. We are a private service that requests it for you: one form, any state.

What a DMV driving record is

It is the official record of you as a driver: your license status and class, convictions for moving violations, suspensions and, in many states, crashes and points. People also call it a DMV record, a DMV printout or a driver record. It is the same document as a motor vehicle report (MVR).

It is not always the DMV

Fewer than half the states call their agency the DMV. Texas uses the Department of Public Safety, Ohio and Indiana the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Maryland the Motor Vehicle Administration, and Michigan and Illinois the Secretary of State. The record is the same kind of document whichever agency keeps it. The table at the end of this page lists the agency for every state.

What people use it for

  • Seeing what an employer or insurer will see
  • Checking that a ticket was recorded correctly, or has dropped off
  • Confirming their license status before driving, renting a car or applying for a job

The copy we send is uncertified. If a court or an agency has asked for a certified DMV record, that has to come from the agency itself. See certified or non-certified.

How to order through us

Pick your state, fill in one short form and sign the consent. When ordering opens, we will request your record from the state agency and email it to you as a PDF. The price is $34.95 in most states, with the state's fee included. StateDrivingRecords.com is a private company and is not part of any DMV.

Questions about DMV records

Is this the DMV?

No. StateDrivingRecords.com is a private company. We are not part of any DMV or other state agency, and no agency endorses us.

What is a DMV printout?

It is another name for a copy of your driving record.

Can I request someone else's DMV record?

Not through us. We request a record only for the driver it belongs to, with that driver's signed consent.
