Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) Search |
|
Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) offer driving history information
regarding insurance lapses, license suspensions, revocations, accidents,
traffic violations, and unpaid, or unanswered summons. It is recommended
to run a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) search on applicants who would
be in a position driving a company provided vehicle, chauffeuring,
entertaining clients, or operating machinery. Additionally, certain
state convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs are not listed on criminal court records, heightening the
importance of a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) check.
