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 North Dakota, a driver's driving record, also known as a motor vehicle record (MVR), is maintained by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). This record includes the driver's personal information such as name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as their driving history, including all accidents and moving violations. Drivers in North Dakota can request their driving records for various reasons, including providing proof of eligibility for a driving safety or defensive driving course to a court, verifying the removal of penalty points from their license after completing such a course, or to negotiate better insurance premium rates. The process for obtaining a driving record in North Dakota typically involves submitting a request to the NDDOT, which may be done online, by mail, or in person, and may require payment of a fee.
