Driving Record & MVR Checks
Protect Your Fleet. Protect Your Business.
Whether you’re hiring delivery drivers, field technicians, or anyone operating a company vehicle, a clean driving record is more than a convenience—it’s a critical safety and liability factor.
At VeriCorp, our Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) Check can help you make informed decisions by providing timely, compliant access to your candidate’s driving history.
What Is an MVR Check?
An MVR (Motor Vehicle Record) is a report that pulls driving history from a state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This includes:
- License status and class
- Driving restrictions or endorsements
- Violations and infractions (e.g., speeding, DUIs)
- Suspensions, revocations, or cancellations
- Accident history (if reported)
VeriCorp’s MVR checks provide fast, accurate information to help ensure your candidates are qualified—and that your organization remains protected.

CDLIS: Commercial Driver’s License Information System
For positions requiring a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), VeriCorp also accesses the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS).
CDLIS helps you:
- Confirm that the applicant holds only one valid CDL license, as required by federal law
- Identify all previous and current CDL-issuing states
- Support Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance
- Avoid violations of FMCSA regulations
Using CDLIS alongside MVR checks strengthens your driver safety program and ensures you stay in full regulatory compliance

This keeps you informed of changes to license status or new violations—so you’re never caught off guard.

FAQs for Driving Records & MVR Checks
How long does an MVR check take?
Most MVR checks are returned instantly up to 48 hours, depending on the state and the completeness of the information provided.
Does an MVR check show DUI or reckless driving charges?
Yes. MVR reports include major violations like DUIs, reckless driving, and license suspensions if they are on record in the state DMV.
What’s the difference between an MVR check and CDLIS?
MVR checks report on driving history within a specific state. CDLIS checks identify all states where a candidate has held a CDL, helping to locate and verify additional MVR records.
How far back does an MVR report go?
Most states provide driving history for the past 3–7 years. However, the specific timeframe can vary by state and type of violation.
Can I run an MVR check on an existing employee?
Yes. Many employers conduct rechecks or ongoing monitoring to ensure employees maintain a valid license and a safe driving record over time.
What happens if there is a violation or issue found on a report?
If a report reveals a violation that may impact your hiring decision, you must follow the FCRA’s adverse action process—this includes notifying the candidate and giving them a chance to dispute the information.
Can MVR reports affect our company’s insurance rates?
Yes. Insurance providers often assess your drivers’ MVRs when setting commercial vehicle insurance premiums. Having a team of safe drivers with clean records can help lower your rates.
