First Contact HR provides motor vehicle history (MVR) reports nationwide and highly recommends this search for applicants and current staff who drive on company business on occasion or on a regular basis. MVR reports determine whether the license is valid, suspended or revoked. MVR reports contain state driving record information back at least three years, possibly up to seven years, depending on state policies. Some states make any infraction involving drugs or alcohol a permanent part of a driver’s record. Reports may contain physical description, license information, infractions, home address, and possibly previous driver’s license numbers. If a DWI/DUI offense is the target information, it will usually appear in a criminal record, and not always on the driver’s license check after 3 years.
