Driver Qualifications

DMV Report

A Department Of Motor Vehicle report should be conducted on any Applicant who will be driving on behalf of an employer. Besides revealing an Applicant’s driving history, a DMV report can additionally reveal an Applicant’s level of responsibility to appear in court and/or pay fines, as well as reveal potential problems with drugs and/or alcohol.

A Department Of Motor Vehicle report, in most states, will provide the following:

• Name
• State of issuance
• Previous state of issuance
• License issue and expiration date
• Violations
• Restrictions
• Suspensions and revocations
• Failures to appear in court and arrest warrants

Further, a DMV report will reveal convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Driving records are available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and internationally.
