A driver’s driving record is information maintained in a database controlled by a state’s department of public safety, department of motor vehicles, or similar department or agency. The driver’s driving record generally includes the driver’s name, date of birth, address, license status, list of all accidents, and list of all moving violations on record.
A driver may want to request their driving record to prove to a court the driver is eligible for a driving safety or defensive driving course; to confirm that penalty points on a driver’s license have been removed after completing a driving safety or defensive driving course; or to persuade an insurance company to give the driver a better rate on insurance premiums.
In Missouri, a driver's driving record, also known as a motor vehicle record (MVR), is maintained by the Missouri Department of Revenue. This record includes personal information such as the driver's name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as their driving history, including all accidents and moving violations. Drivers in Missouri can request a copy of their driving record for various reasons, such as providing proof of eligibility for a driving safety or defensive driving course, verifying the removal of penalty points after course completion, or negotiating better insurance premium rates. To obtain their driving record, drivers can request it online, by mail, or in person at a local Missouri Department of Revenue office. There may be a fee associated with obtaining a copy of the driving record. It's important for drivers to periodically review their driving record to ensure accuracy and to address any discrepancies that may affect their driving privileges or insurance rates.
