DMV Free Driver History Report

The DMV in each state maintains the driving history of all the registered licensed drivers of that state. This motor vehicle record, or driver history report, contains information about accidents and traffic offenses. The driver’s record can contain information such as;  speeding tickets, driving under the influence, how long they have been driving, any suspensions and more. The report may also list the penalty points that were assessed due to these violations. Negative information can have an adverse effect on your life and employment opportunities. Insurance companies may use the report to charge higher auto insurance premiums or deny coverage. An employer may use the information when considering you for a job that requires the operation of a company vehicle. At some Motor Vehicle Departments you can obtain a free driver history report but not in all states. Many states will charge a nominal fee for a driver history report.  It’s best to contact your local DMV to find out they offer a free driver history report. Click here to locate website and contact information for your local DMV. Note that some states have a different names for their Motor Vehicle Departments such as; DMV, RMV, MVD, OMV, etc..

Free Driver History Report Online

To obtain a free driving history report there are a couple ways to do this.  (1).  Go online and access your state’s DMV website. In the available menu, look for an entry similar to “Driver Online Services.” Click on the link and search for “Driver History” or “Driver Record.” These links will open a page where you can enter your identifying information and then select an option for how you want the report delivered to you. Often times there is a nominal fee for processing and postage so it won’t be entirely free.  (2). Go to an online driving records or public records website that offers free driver history reports. There you will search by entering a first and last name and state and city. Results should be available almost instantly. This is often a much easier way to get driver history reports without going to the DMV.

Why Obtain Your Driver History Report ?

It is important to obtain a copy of your driving history report to verify its accuracy. You can then challenge erroneous or outdated entries and possibly have them removed from your DMV records. If you have recently moved to another state, contact the DMV in the state of your previous residence as well. If you don’t want to wait in line at the DMV you can find a free driver history report online.

If the state does not provide an online service or you cannot access the site, you may also request a copy of the report in person at a DMV office. You may be required to fill out an official request form providing identification information similar to the online request. The service may be free or cost a nominal fee depending upon the number of years to be accessed.

Some states authorize you to order the report by mail. The request form will be available online under a link labeled “Forms” on the DMV website. Fill out the form and mail it to the specified address. The DMV may charge a nominal fee for this service. Private online driving record services companies may also be able to obtain the information for a fee.  Again, with SearchQuarry.com, you can get a free driver history report online.

    When can I get the interlock off my car

    1. squarryadministratorsays:

      A car interlock system must be removed by a professional, this is not something you can do yourself. To know when your interlock term is completed you must reach out to the courts that issued this to you and verify that your term has successfully been completed.

      Removing a Car Ignition Interlock

      Once your interlock term is completed and you’re ready to remove your interlock system you must have a professional do this. There is proprietary software not available to the general public that must be used. The removal is then reported to the DMV and relevant courts to notify them of this removal. Then you can safely be back on the road without having to use the breathalyzer to start your vehicle

  16. Jack Palmersays:

    I appreciate that you advised, “It is important to obtain a copy of your driving history report to verify it’s accuracy.” I bet that could also be done when doing a car history report. I would think if you had both reports when trading in a car would be really helpful. Thanks for sharing this info on driving reports. I also found a site that was beneficial to look through on this topic: https://www.instavin.com/
