Frequently Asked Questions About Motor Vehicle Records

An MVR, or Motor Vehicle Records search, is a report that retrieves a driver’s history from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of a specific state.

While this is not an exhaustive list, MVRs most commonly include the following:

• Personal information pertaining to the driver (name, address, date of birth, etc.)
• License number and status (whether it’s valid, invalid, suspended or revoked)
• Violations and convictions (speeding tickets, moving traffic violations, crashes, etc.)
• Any existing suspensions and revocations
