Nationwide (all 50 states) driving records

[madaxeman]

I want to check my record for errors (prior to applying for a new job). I already have a DAC report. That doesn't include your driving record for the country though. How do you view/get access to your driving record (tickets, accidents, etc) for the entire country (like if you got an out-of-your-home-state ticket or accident)? I know how to get an IL state copy of my MVR...Or does the IL Secretary of State have all information from all states? Thanks!

I just drove down to the DMV and and payed the fee and they printed out a copy of it. I am also an Illinois resident and it showed a ticket in Pa and an accident in Boston.

You just ask for your regular motor vehicle driving record, correct? Or is there a different one for commercial drivers and incidents/tickets/violations? Thanks much!

You might have to pay a fee to get a copy of your MVR.
It's $30 here in the Empire State.

Yeah...they definitely charge you. I had to get a copy before driving school (less than three years ago). I want to say it was $12 at the time. It might be more now. I just wanted to make sure my IL state MVR will include any CMV violations in any other state (like IN, OH, etc). Thanks!

I guess....No news is good news! I just got the report today. It costed $12. It has two pages...one says "Court Purposes"...the other says "Supervision". The only thing it says it "LIC ISSUE" and the date it was issued. Besides that, it just says "END OF RECORD" on both pages.

It has been a few years since I pulled my MVR but last time I did I told them it was for a job and got 1 free copy. I too live in IL.

Really? I told them that, too. They said "TWELVE BUCKS"! They charged me $12 in 2006, too. I needed a copy for truck driver training. It should be free! It's MY DMV. It's not like it costs them anything. They print out a piece of paper. What does that cost? $.02 for the paper and $.02 for ink? I think it used to be free but IL has gotten very greedy. They charge and tax hike everything to the sky instead of eliminating governmental excesses and wasteful spending...while they fill government positions with convicts. It's way out of hand. Pretty soon I am going to take my $12 to another state.

Wow that sucks. The last one I got was a year or so ago and was only $5 in TN.

[Uturn2001]

Yeah I hear you. Like I said it was several years ago so things may have changed. I know it went up.

The last one I got was in 02 or 03 and it was $5 for any reason other than work and then it was free.

Don't matter if the gooberment raises taxes or not. They still find ways to take more of our money. No new taxes, just raise the fees for everything.

Damn, $30 and $12 for MVR is expensive, in PA you can get it online for $6, $9 I think if you want it mailed to you with raised state seal, oir you can walk in to DMV and get a copy for $3, or $6 with raised seal. I would venture to say most states offer it online, much more convient.

Yep...and that was cheap compared to an IL state police criminal report which was 1 page of regular paper. It took more than a few weeks and it was either $18 or $24. I don't remember which because it was a few years ago. You could only get it by first getting a form in the mail. You couldn't print it out online or even request the form online. You had to call the IL state police directly. Then, you had to mail a check and the form. Then, you had to wait again for that to come in the mail. Overall, it took over a month to get. I actually had to have someone priority it to me from IL to school. I had to leave for school and it never arrived in time. Luckily, the SAGE school director let me start without it.
