Driving Records in Nevada
Online Driving Records Vs. Certified Driving Records
You can easily obtain your Nevada driving record, also known as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), online through independent vendors. It is a public record detailing your driving history that you can also order through the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. You can order it online, in person or by mail.
Order Your Own Driver Abstract Through The NV DMV
The Nevada DMV offers an online service so you can quickly access your three-year driving history. You can also obtain the three-year, 10-year or school bus history from self-service kiosks at larger DMV offices and various private locations. You won't need to complete a form, but you will need to present your drivers license.

Order The Driving Record Of Another Individual Through The NV DMV
To order the driver license record of someone other than yourself, you must complete a notarized Letter of Authorization to Release Information along with the Application for Individual Record Information. Contact the NV DMV for more details.
Reasons To Order A Nevada Driver Record
Sometimes for a new job or auto insurance purposes, you might need to obtain a personal driver history. Or you might need to check your drivers license status to ensure you don't have a revoked or suspended license. 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.
