    Check Your Driver's License Status

    A driving record is similar to a credit report, only it chronicles your history of traffic accidents, moving violations, and license suspensions. Maintaining a clean record won't earn you a congressional medal, but it will make your life easier by keeping your insurance premiums reasonable and preventing any red flags from popping up should a potential employer do a background check.

    Any moving violation conviction (speeding, DUI, fleeing the scene of an accident) will stick to your driving record like a bad tattoo. Regardless of how safely you drive thereafter, the blemishes will always remain.

    Although you can order a driving record directly from the Pennsylvania PennDOT, one of the fastest ways to get your Driving Record for Employment Purposes is to order it online through a 3rd-party advertiser, such as DrivingRecords.com. They also offers other services such as criminal records, SSN verifications, and other employment screening services.

    All state driving records are cached by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), and yours is available to you for a fee. There are six different history records that you can request:

    • Basic information: Includes name, address, driver number, date of birth, and license type.
    • Three-year record: In addition to the basic information, this record also includes traffic violations and departmental actions (suspensions or revocations) within the past three years.
    • Ten-year record: Same information as a three-year record, only for 10 years. This request can be made for employment purposes only.
    • Certified record: This record contains all of the basic information as well as the driver's entire record.
    • Microfilm document: You can request records from specific time periods on microfilm.
    • Certified copy of microfilm document: Same as above, but certified.

    How to Request Your Driving Record

    Online

    Ordering online represents your fastest option. It only takes seconds to complete the order form, but you'll need a credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa) to pay a $5 fee.
