Request a driving record

Driving records include criminal and civil driving offenses for which you were either found guilty or responsible, plus discretionary and administrative license suspensions.

There are 2 types of driving records:

• An unattested driving record, used for personal or informational purposes.
• A true and attested driving record, used for official and/or court purposes and carries the signature of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.

Employers

The RMV offers access to the Driver Verification Program (DVS) for employers that have a need to monitor their driver’s license statuses.  As part of the DVS program, you will have the ability to purchase an Unattested Driving Record.  For more information or to sign up for the DVS Program click here.
