Driving Records
For Individuals:
Individuals can order a copy of their own Florida driving record online from FloridaDrivingRecord.org. These records are non-certified and are ideal for your employment purposes or simply to verify the information included on your driving record.
For Businesses:
Businesses can order Florida driving records as part of their employment screening practices or insurance companies can order driving records to verify points or violations on new or existing customers.
Florida driving records, also known as motor vehicle records, are documents that provide suspensions, violation histories, and other details about a Florida residence driver's license record.
Individuals may request a copy of their own Florida driving record online with instant results at FloridaDrivingRecord.org. For your protection, sensitive personal information such as your name, social security and address will not be released. The driving record will identify your record through your Florida driver license number only. For questions about a new order or an existing order you have already placed, contact their customer service
Businesses and commercial users can also order Florida Driving Records for employee and/or background checks at DrivingRecords.com.
Checking Your Driver's License Status
The Florida Division of Driver Licenses (DDL) receives more than 1 million requests for driver transcripts each year. While most of these requests come from insurance companies, law enforcement, and courts, you are also entitled to request driving records for your own needs.
Your driving record will contain pertinent information such as violations, suspensions, revocations, and restrictions. In compliance with state and federal laws, your name will not appear on your record; your driver license number will be the only identifying information.
Obtaining Your Driving Record
To obtain a driving record directly from the DDL, you'll need to submit a written request that includes the following information: individual's full name, birth date, Social Security number, Florida driver license number, and the address where you want the record sent.
The fees for driving records are $2.10 for a three-year record, and $3.10 for a seven-year (or complete) record. If you want a certified copy of either, you'll be charged $3.10. Personal checks and money orders are accepted, made payable to Division of Driver Licenses.
Mail your request, along with applicable fees, to:
- Bureau of Records
- P.O. Box 5775
- Tallahassee, FL 32314-5775
If you are sending the request by next-day carriers, send it to:
- Bureau of Records
- 2900 Apalachee Parkway, MS 90
- Tallahassee, FL 32399-0575
If you wish to correct errors found on your driving record, the DDL Customer Service Center will have to review it. Call (850) 617-2000 for more information about submitting a request for review.
Traffic Schools and Tickets
If you attended traffic school to erase a traffic ticket from your driving record, that ticket will not show up on your record. But don't worry about an error; the driving record only reflects infractions that actually went to court. When you take care of a ticket through driving school, that case is considered "adjudication withheld" (or not judged in court) and will therefore not show up on a three- or seven-year record.
Ordering a Record Online
It's also possible to obtain your driving record online or via e-mail through state-approved third-party providers.
Clearance Letters No Longer Necessary
It used to be that a clearance letter was required from the state DDL when you applied for a driver license in another state. Today, however, all states have instant access to driver records through a nationally-networked database. The DDL still handles special or extenuating circumstances, however. You can reach them at (850) 617-2000.
