Driving Records in Hawaii
Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records
You can easily obtain your driver history record, also known as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), online. Independent vendors can save you time when you go online. Or you can submit a request for a complete driving record in person or by mail through the District Courts. Your driving history record is not a substitute for certified traffic abstracts; those must be obtained through the Traffic Violations Bureau of the District Courts.
Order Your Own Driver Abstract Through Hawaii District Courts
HI drivers who wish to obtain their own driver history record can do so by visiting or writing the District Courts. You can obtain a request form through the Hawaii Department of Transportation (DOT).
Order the Driving Record of Another Individual Through Hawaii District Courts
Those ordering a driving record of an individual other than themselves can also visit or write the District Courts. Keep in mind this complete driver history record differs from a certified traffic abstract. That is something you must obtain through the Traffic Violations Bureau of the District Courts.
Reasons to Order a Driver Record
Whether your employer or an auto insurance company wants to review your driving history, or you want to check if have a suspended drivers license, a driving record offers valuable information. Most commonly, motorists run a driving record to:
- 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.
