Driving Record (MVR)

from $35.00

Pull an official motor vehicle record for your drivers. An MVR is required before hiring and annually for every driver qualification file under 49 CFR 391.25, and the missed annual pull is one of the most common audit findings there is.

We get the MVR directly from the state DMV, handle all 50 states' different processes and fees, and deliver the record in a consistent, audit-ready format, most within 1-2 business days.

For CDL drivers, add a CDLIS record to verify CDL status and check for violations in other states. One state's MVR doesn't show what happened across the border; CDLIS does.

What Is an MVR?

A Motor Vehicle Record shows a driver's history of traffic violations, accidents, license suspensions, and other driving-related information from their state of licensure. Motor carriers must pull an MVR for each driver before hiring and at least once every 12 months thereafter under 49 CFR 391.25.

The annual MVR is one of the most commonly missed items in driver qualification files, and one of the first things an auditor looks for.

What Happens After I Order?

We collect the driver's license details, request the record from the state DMV, and deliver it in an audit-ready format, most within 1-2 business days. If you ordered the CDLIS option, we also query the national CDL database for license status and out-of-state history.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need to pull an MVR?+

Before hiring a new driver and annually for all current drivers. You also need a new MVR if a driver's license is renewed or transferred to a different state.

What's the difference between an MVR and CDLIS?+

An MVR comes from one state and shows that state's records. A CDLIS check queries the national CDL database for violations and license status across all states. CDL drivers should have both.

Can I pull MVRs myself?+

You can request records directly from each state DMV, but every state has different processes and fees. We handle all 50 states and deliver records in a consistent format.

How far back does an MVR go?+

It varies by state. Most states provide 3-5 years of history, but some go back further.

Do non-CDL drivers need MVRs too?+

Yes. If the driver operates a commercial motor vehicle over 10,001 lbs, they need a driver qualification file, and every DQ file requires the annual MVR, CDL or not.

Is the MVR included in your DQ file service?+

Yes. New driver files and renewals both include the required record pull. This standalone service is for carriers who manage their own files and just need the records.
