Driving Records in Indiana

Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records
Also known as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), a driving record details driving history. You can quickly order this record online by going through an independent vendor. You can also request a certified driving record in person or by mail through the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).
Order Your Own Driver Abstract Through the BMV
If you need a copy of your own driving record, fill out a Request for Driving Records form and submit it in person to the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. You can also mail the form and fees to:
- Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles
- Attn: Driver Records Requests
- 100 N. Senate Ave., N405
- Indianapolis, IN 46204
Your driver's license record contains the following information:
- Name and address
- Physical description
- Type of license issued, status and any restrictions
- Issue and expiration dates
- List of tickets and violations
Order the Driving Record of Another Individual Through the BMV
If you want to obtain the driver license record of someone other than yourself, complete the request form mentioned above. It details who is eligible to access an individual's driving history. Include the driver's license number, date of birth and more before submitting this request and fees to the IN BMV.
Reasons to Order an Indiana Driver Record
In some cases, an employer or an auto insurance company will want to review your driving history. Or perhaps you just want to check that your drivers license is valid. A driving record offers valuable information, including whether you have a suspended license. Most commonly, people 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.
