Instantly Order Your Own Idaho Driving Record Online

Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records

Your driving record, also known as a Driver License Record (DLR) or Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), reflects what the state has on file for your driving history. Easily order one online through independent vendors. Or request a certified copy through the Idaho Transportation Department.

Order Your Own Driver Abstract Through The ID DOT

To order a copy of your own driving record, submit a written request (Driver Records Request form) to the Idaho Transportation Department. Include the following:

• Driver information, drivers license number and Social Security number

• Fees (a certified copy costs more)

• Driver's date of birth (DOB)

Order The Driving Record Of Another Individual Through The ID DOT

To order the driver license record of someone other than yourself, complete the same request form mentioned above and mail your request to the Idaho Transportation Department.

You can also submit a request (plus fees) for a driver license record and supporting document packet. Be sure to specify the documents needed. For a certified driver packet, your written request must also include the date of incident and proper fees.

Reasons To Order A Driver Record

Some drivers order a driving record to ensure they don't have a suspended license or to check their drivers license status. In other cases, an employer or auto insurance company looking to review your driving history might request a driving record. 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.
