How To Obtain Your Kansas Driving Record
You can obtain your Kansas driving record by ordering it from the Kansas Division of Vehicles. You can submit an order for your driving record if you have a Kansas driver’s license or commercial driver’s license. You mail the order in. You can obtain a driver’s license status online.
Applying to Get the Driving Record
First, determine whether you need a complete record or only a status, which includes only a summary. If a summary will suffice, you can obtain the record online.
If you need a full record, you fill out a Request to Access Vehicle Records form. You will need to give a code describing your eligibility to access the record. The code to access your own record is A. You must be sure to request the records using your name and address exactly as they appear on your driver’s license; otherwise, the system will be unable to find a match.
You mail the form, along with a check or money order for $10, to:
Topeka, KS 66601-2021
Fees for Getting Your Driving Record and Payment Methods
The fees for getting your driving record varies based on what kind of driving record you are getting. Obtaining a status is free. A complete driving record is $10.
Types of Driving Records
A driver’s license status check will tell you whether your license is active, suspended, canceled, restricted, or revoked. The BOV also does not guarantee that the records are always timely. If you check your status and discover that your license has been restricted, revoked, or suspended, you should call Driver Solutions immediately at 785-296-3671. Driver Solutions will help you determine what you must do to have your driving privileges restored.
A complete driving record will list the offenses that you have been convicted of. Minor offenses, such as speeding or failure to yield the right-of-way, only stay on your driving record for three years. Major offenses stay on your record for five years. Some offenses, such as driving under the influence, remain on your record for life. So, if you were convicted of speeding 12 miles over the speed limit 2 1/2 years ago, it will still be on your record. However, if the conviction were 3 1/2 years ago, that conviction would no longer be on your record.
