    Top Check Your Driver's License Status

    A driving record is a matter of public record. It's not only simple to obtain a copy of your driving record, but it's easy to get another driver's record, too. That's because the state doesn't require a signed consent from the driver to access their record.

    Top Traffic Abstracts and Traffic Court Reports

    Traffic or abbreviated abstracts contain information about your moving violation citations and convictions. Meanwhile, traffic court or complete reports include this data, along with information concerning parking citations and equipment violations.

    Civil moving violations remain on your record for three years, while no-fault violations stick around for five years. A DUI arrest or conviction will haunt your traffic abstract for 10 years before it disappears.

    Top How to Get a Copy of a Traffic Abstract

    The abstracts fall under the domain of the Traffic Violations Bureau of the District Courts. Each island county has its own branch or branches (see below).

    Getting Abstracts in Person

    You can stop by any District Court (see below for locations) and request either your record or the record of another motorist. If you are seeking not just your traffic record but your complete court record (including any criminal record not related to traffic crimes), you will need to present the clerk with your driver's license or state ID.

    To attain another individual's abstract, you will need to have as much information on that person as possible―name, license number, date of birth, or more. The less data you provide, the more likely you are to end up with multiple records. If this is the case, you will have to purchase all the available abstracts and do a more thorough search on your own. The only time you will be obligated to present a consent form is if you are trying to get a minor's driving history.

    Whether you're getting your record or someone else's, the fee is $7 per record. If you pay by credit card, a 3% convenience fee will be added to the total. All of the documents are certified. Traffic court records costs $1 for the first page, and 50 cents for each additional page.

    Abstracts via Mail

    To order a traffic abstract by mail, you will need to provide as much information as possible on the driver; the driver's name, date of birth, and driver's license number are ideal. You should also include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The $7 fee per record is only payable by money order or cashier's check (no personal checks) made out to "District Court."

    Send your request the District Court in your area.

    Please note that traffic court records are not available through the mail.
