Why would I need an MVR check?
An MVR check is typically needed for: Pre-employment screening for jobs that require driving, such as delivery drivers, commercial truck operators, or other safety-sensitive transportation roles. Annual or routine checks for employees who drive as part of their job, ensuring they maintain a clean and valid driving record. Compliance with DOT regulations for commercial drivers, ensuring they meet the qualifications required to operate commercial motor vehicles. For insurance purposes, where insurers use MVRs to determine risk levels and set appropriate premiums for individuals or companies. MVR checks help employers and insurers identify risks and promote safety.
How far back does an MVR check go?
The length of time covered in an MVR check depends on the state issuing the license. Typically: Most states provide a driving history of 3 to 7 years. Some serious offenses, such as DUI/DWI or license suspensions, may remain on the record for a longer period, often 10 years or more. Commercial driving violations may also be recorded for an extended period due to DOT requirements. Employers and insurers use this information to evaluate recent and past driving behavior.
