Driving Records

Your Georgia driving record (also known as an MVR) is easily obtained online. This is not a ceritifed copy―it is only for your own personal records―but it is wise to check it periodically.

Getting your MVR online isn't instant gratification, however―at least not the first time. You'll need a password issued by the Department of Driver Services. You may request a password online. But the department sends your password to you at the address on file using snail mail, which can take approximately 15 days.

When you've got your password and have set up your online account, you will need to furnish your driver's license or ID number, date of birth, the password, and a major credit card to receive a noncertified copy of your driving record.

If you need a certified copy of your driving record for employment, insurance, or other purposes, you will need to apply in person at your local driver's license office.

Whether you apply for a copy of your driving record online or in person, the cost for a three-year record is $6. A seven-year record is $8.

For the same fee, you can also request a certified copy of your MVR by mail. You will need to provide your full name, address, driver's license number, date of birth, self-addressed stamped envelope, and the appropriate fees (money order or cashier's check only). You will also need to sign your request and have it notarized.

Mail your request to:

• Georgia Department of Driver Services

• MVR Unit

• P.O. Box 80447

• Conyers, GA 30013
