Checking driving records
Information Required — Driver’s full name, date of birth, and/or driver license number The requesting party must indicate a permissible reason for obtaining record information.
Format — A “Non-Account & Individual Record Request” form (BDVR-154) must be completed by any party requesting another individual’s driving record. A driving record may also be obtained online.
Driving records are available via the Secretary of State website: https://www.michigan.gov/sos/all-services/driving-record.
A subscription service is available to employers, to check the driving records of employees who drive vehicles as part of their employment. This program automatically generates a driving record which is mailed to the subscriber on an annual basis, and whenever a violation, restriction, suspension, or revocation is posted to the record. A fee is charged for an initial driving record for each driver and yearly records thereafter. If a violation is incurred, a fee is charged for the record generated. This program eliminates the need to make separate requests each time a driving record is needed. Note: Subscription records are not certified.
The subscription service may be accessed via the Secretary of State website: https://www.michigan.gov/sos/resources/communities/businesses.
Fee — $15.00 per individual record, $16.00 for a certified record.
