Driving Records in Arizona

Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records
The state refers to a driving record as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR). This public record contains driving history, and can be easily obtained online through independent vendors. You can also request a copy or a certified driving record in person or by mail through the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD).
Order Your Own Driver Abstract Through The AZ MVD
Through the state, you can obtain an uncertified record of your three-year driving history or a certified record of your five-year driving history. Submit a completed Motor Vehicle Record Request by mail or in person at any AZ MVD office.
Order The Driving Record Of Another Individual Through The AZ MVD
If you are eligible, you can obtain the driver license record of someone other than yourself. Contact the AZ MVD for permissible uses and steps on ordering a driving record.
Reasons To Order A Driver Record
Many drivers obtain a driving record to check if they have a suspended drivers license. In other cases, an employer or an auto insurance company wants to review your driving history. The most common reasons to run a driving record include:
- Check drivers license status and license suspension
- Check drivers license points and violation codes
- Check traffic tickets, violations and fines
- Check auto accidents
- Check driver license classification and endorsements
How Driving History Affects Auto Insurance Rates
Car insurance companies factor in driving history when determining your car insurance premium. If your driving record reflects any traffic tickets, auto accidents, DUI or DWI convictions, an insurance agent could consider you a high-risk driver. The higher the risk, the higher the rate.
