How to Get a Driving Record
Insurance companies and employers are the two largest segments of society that require a copy of your driving safety record. Although most who desire a copy of your driving record will simply have you sign a letter of permission for them to order a copy, many require the driver herself to order, and present, the driving record personally. Every U.S. state has an application form which must be filled out and sent to the particular state's Department of Motor Vehicles.
