Driving Records in Mississippi

Instantly Order Your Own MS Driving Record Online

Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records

Your Mississippi driving record contains details on your driving history. It is a public record that you can easily obtain online through independent vendors. You can also view your Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) online through the state. However, this is not a certified copy. To obtain a certified copy you must contact the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS).

Order Your Own Driver Abstract Through The MS DPS

The state offers online access to MS DPS info so you can review the current status of your drivers license and the moving violations on record. To order a certified copy of your driving record in person, visit a Mississippi DPS office with a completed Mississippi Department of Public Safety Driver Records Request form, proper fees and identification. You can also submit a request by mail by sending your completed form and fees to:

• Department of Public Safety

• Attn: MVR

• PO Box 958

• Jackson, MS 39205

Order The Driving Record Of Another Individual Through The MS DPS

To order the Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) of another driver, complete the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Driver Records Request form. You must also obtain written authorization from the record owner, confirming that the information is to be used by a legitimate business or its agents, employees or contractors for use in the normal course of business. In this case, complete the Consent to Release Record(s) form. Submit your request, consent form and fees in person at a MS DPS office, or by mail to the address above.

Reasons To Order A Mississippi Driver Record

An employer or an auto insurance company might want to review your driving history, or you might need to check your drivers license status (revoked, suspended license, etc.). In these cases, 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.
