Where does the Florida Driving Record from this web site come from? Florida MVR Services, Inc. has been providing driving records to businesses and individuals since 1990. We are one of the oldest approved providers of driving records for the State of Florida. The information in your record comes directly from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, through a gateway link to their database. This is the same source used by law enforcement agencies, insurance companies and employers to verify driver information. Why don't my name, address and social security number appear on my instant driving record? For your protection and to comply with State and Federal regulations, personal information such as your name, address and social security number will not be displayed on an instant driving record you obtain from this website. The instant report you receive will be identified by your driver's license number which will be printed on the report. How can I obtain a copy of my Florida driving record with my name and address included? If you need a report with your name and address included we will obtain the record directly from the Florida DMV with your written permission. The report is usually ready the same business day (excluding state holidays). How can I obtain a Certified Copy of my driving record? If you need a certified record you must mail your request directly to the Florida DMV. Their customer service number is (850)617-2000. What is the difference between a 3-year, 7-year and Complete driving record? Three-year and seven-year driving records contain your driving convictions and notices for the past three or seven years as well as convictions reported to the State DMV by other states within those time frames. However, on a three or seven-year report Florida does not display a violation, suspension, accident or other charge if you were found not guilty, if the charge was dismissed, or if adjudication was withheld. If you received a ticket and then went to driving school to have the points removed from your record the infraction is considered "adjudication withheld" by the Florida DMV and the infraction will NOT appear on your three-year or seven-year Florida report. Notice:
If you want to see all traffic
infractions, including those where you attended
traffic school to keep points off your license,
you will need to order a complete record. Why doesn't a recent traffic ticket I received appear on my driving record? The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) updates your driving record after disposition of the ticket. The information is reported to the DMV after you have either paid the fine, attended a Florida driving school, or a settlement is reached with the court on a contested ticket. The law enforcement agency that issed the ticket is required by Florida law to provide the ticket information to the the County Clerk of the Court within 5 working days. The Clerk of the Court then has 10 working days, from the date of disposition, to report this information to the DMV. After receipt of the information it may take the DMV several days to input the data in their database of records. A non-contested ticket can take 30-60 days to appear on your record. A contested or out-of state ticket may take several months to appear. I received a traffic ticket and attended traffic school to avoid having the points on my license. Why is the ticket not displayed when I get a copy of my three-year or seven-year driving record? Florida does not display driving infractions on a three or seven-year report if you were found not guilty, the charge was dismissed, or adjudication was withheld. If you received a ticket and then went to driving school to have the points removed from your record the infraction is considered "adjudication withheld" by the Florida DMV and the infraction will not appear on your three-year or seven-year Florida report. If you need to see all traffic infractions including those where you attended traffic school, you will need to order a complete record. A complete driving record contains all driving infractions and correspondence from the Florida DMV for the past 11 years. If the Florida DMV has received infractions reported by other states it will include those infractions. Certain serious infractions such as DUI's may remain longer than eleven years. How many points can I receive before my license is suspended? 12 points accumulated in 12
months, results in a 30-day suspension; How many times can I choose to attend a driver improvement course (Traffic School)? You may choose to attend a driver improvement course once in any 12-month period and no more than 5 times in your lifetime. How can I find the ticket number from a ticket if it does not appear on my driving record? You should contact the law enforcement agency that issued the ticket or the courthouse in the county where you received the ticket. What do I do if I believe my driving record is incorrect? All driving history information is obtained directly from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Corrections to your driving record can only be made by the Department. If you believe your record is incorrect you will need to contact that agency directly at (850) 617-2000.
