Instantly Order Your Own LA Driving Record Online

Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records

Also known as an Official Driving Record (ODR) or Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), your driving record contains driving history information. You can obtain this public record online either through an independent vendor or through the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV). The state also allows you to request a driving record in person at certain OMV offices or by mail. Keep in mind if you order your driving record through the state, you will receive an official copy.

Not all offices will process a driving record; therefore ensure your local OMV office offers what you need before going in person. To order your own Official Driving Record online, visit the OMV DPS site. You will need a printer and valid debit or credit card, plus you must provide your name, address, driver's license number, date of birth and class of license. The record will contain:

• Accident statement

• Personal status of individual's driving privileges

• CDL status

• Offenses on record (including tickets and accidents)

Order The Driving Record Of Another Individual Through The LA OMV

When requesting a driving record for someone other than yourself, you must provide written authorization from that person in addition to the standard documentation.

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 your drivers license is valid (revoked, suspended license, etc.), 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.
