State Driving Records
DISA’s State Driving Record checks verify license status and driving history, helping employers ensure safe, qualified hires for transportation and driving-related roles.
Employers in the transportation industry, or those who have employees who drive for general business purposes, such as using a company car, can make more informed hiring decisions by including a state driving record search (also known as a Motor Vehicle Record or MVR). A state driving record search will verify the current validity of a driver’s license.
Additionally, employers may choose to implement this search to verify that the driver is qualified and fit for the safety-sensitive position.
Employee-caused accidents can lead to higher insurance premiums, risk of injury or death, workers' compensation claims, etc., which is why it’s important for employers to take preventative measures to ensure a safe hire every time.
What the Check Includes
The State driving record search is conducted through the state, not a DISA database. Results vary by the state or the officer reporting the incident. Criminal activities are not reported on state driver records, but the following items may be included:
Accidents
DWI
Speeding
Convictions of moving violations
Suspensions of driver licenses
Arrests
**DISA does not alter data on MVRs! **
State driving records are sometimes mandatory depending on the position, or industry requirements and can be ordered for a variety of reasons:
- Identification of the applicant or employee
- Moving Violations
- Driving History
