What MVR means
MVR stands for motor vehicle report, or motor vehicle record. It is the record your state keeps on you as a driver, and it is the same document as a driving record. Employers, insurers and screening companies say MVR. States mostly say driving record, driver record or driver abstract.
What an MVR report shows
- Your name, date of birth and license number
- Your license class, status, restrictions and endorsements
- Convictions for moving violations, such as speeding
- Suspensions, revocations and disqualifications
- Crashes and points, in the states that record them
It does not show parking tickets, criminal history unrelated to driving, or your insurance claims.
Who runs an MVR check
- Employers, before hiring anyone who will drive for work, and usually once a year after that
- Insurers, when you ask for a quote and when your policy renews
- Trucking companies, which federal rules require to check every commercial driver's record
- Rideshare and delivery companies, when you sign up to drive
An employer needs your written permission first. Checking your own MVR before they do shows you exactly what they will read.
How to get your own MVR
Pick the state that issued your license, fill in one short form and sign the consent. When ordering opens, we will request your MVR from the state and email it to you as a PDF. The price is $34.95 in most states, with the state's fee included.
How far back an MVR goes
The standard MVR covers three years in most states. Longer versions cover seven or ten years, or your whole driving history. See how far back a driving record goes.
Questions about MVR reports
Is an MVR the same as a driving record?
Yes. MVR, driving record, driver record and driver abstract are different names for the record your state keeps on you as a driver.
Can I run an MVR check on myself?
Yes. You can order your own MVR at any time. Doing so adds nothing to your record and does not affect your license or your insurance.
Can I get someone else's MVR?
Not through us. We request a record only for the driver it belongs to, with that driver's signed consent.
Is an MVR a background check?
No. An MVR covers your driving only. A background check can include an MVR alongside criminal, employment and education checks.
