With the Driver History Records Service, people can search information recorded with the MVD to get individual driver history record information, including:
- All reported vehicle accidents, including the date and time of the accident and the number of reported injuries due to the accident;
- Any driving restrictions placed on the driver license like corrective lenses or driving at night; and
- Limited personal information, including legal name, date of birth, and type of driver license -- including commercial licenses.
"This online driver history search is much more convenient for Montanans," said Dean Roberts, Motor Vehicle Division Administrator. "Prior to offering public access to this service, the process of requesting and receiving an individual driver history often took several days."
The Vehicle Search Service allows users to research the history of a pre-owned vehicle and get immediate results before purchasing the vehicle. Citizens can verify the legal owner, title history, and registration information on each vehicle.
"This is a valuable service for buyers of used cars," said Roberts. "We believe it will result in a more informed consumer, and it may also protect buyers from scams such as unknowingly buying a stolen vehicle. Previously, this service was only available to authorized users such as vehicle dealerships, insurance companies and banks."
Both search services are secure and do not include sensitive information like a home address, Social Security number, or previous driver license number. Prior to starting an online search, users will be asked to certify that they have a valid reason to request the information.
