Driving Records in Maryland

Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records
Also known as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), your driving record contains driving history details. A driving record is public record that you can easily obtain online through independent vendors. You can also request a certified driving record online, in person or by mail through the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA).
Order Your Own Driver Abstract Through The MD MVA
There are three ways to obtain a non-certified or certified driving record through the state: online through the MVA eStore site, in person or by mail. Take your completed Request for Motor Vehicle Administration Records form and fees to any Maryland MVA office or mail them to:
- Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration
- 6601 Ritchie Highway NE, Room 145
- Glen Burnie, MD 21062
Order The Driving Record Of Another Individual Through The MD MVA
Employers, insurance companies and other businesses can use the above means to attain driving records. In order to request documents online, your business will need to subscribe to all MVA online services. Those companies looking to request more than one motorist's records will need to complete the Multiple Record form.
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 for a revoked or suspended license status, 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.
