• Driving Records in California

    Your Driving Record

    Your driving record, also sometimes known as a motor vehicle record, provides a history of traffic violations, suspensions, and other details about your driving history.

    You may also get your spouse's or minor child's record, if they live at the same address as you.

    Driving Record for Employers

    Driving Records for Business Employment

    Businesses can order California driving records as part of their employment screening practices from DrivingRecords.com. These driving records provide a history of violations, suspensions, and other details about a person's driving history.

    Although you can order a driving record directly from the California DMV, one of the fastest ways to get your Driving Record for Employment Purposes is to order it online through a 3rd-party advertiser, such as DrivingRecords.com. They also offers other services such as criminal records, SSN verifications, and other employment screening services.

    Check Your Driver's License Status

    Whenever you need or want to check the status of your driver’s license, you can order a driving record report. This record will spell out if your driver’s license is currently valid. Should your license have been revoked or suspended, the report will indicate that according to what’s on record at the DMV. This report will also show points against your license and, in some cases, information on any accidents you have had.

    How to Request a Copy

    To get a copy of your record, go in person to any California DMV office, fill out a Request for Your Own Driver License Record, bring proof of your identity, and pay the $5 application fee.

    To get your record through the mail, send the Request for Your Own Driver License Record and $5 (check or money order) to:

    • Department of Motor Vehicles
    • Office of Information Services
    • Public Operations Unit G199
    • P. O. Box 944247
    • Sacramento, CA 94244-2470

    For your minor child or spouse, also complete a Request for Record Information (INF 70D).

    Driving Records Are Public Records

    If you have a valid reason (which doesn't include idle curiosity), you can get a copy of anyone's driving record. The DMV blacks out sensitive information, such as the person's home address and Social Security number.

    To request a driving record for someone outside of your immediate family, fill out the INF 70D form, and send it in with the appropriate filing fee.

    The DMV will review your request and notify the subject of your query. Stiff penalties can be assessed if the DMV determines you don't have a good reason for the request.

    Other Driving Record Providers

    To save time, order your driving record through an independent company that specializes in expedited service. Such companies can provide your record sooner―sometimes even by fax or e-mail, cutting the turnaround to a few days.
