Understanding the Fees Associated with Motor Vehicle Record Searches

Are you looking to assess the driver-related risks associated with hiring specific drivers? If so, a motor vehicle record search can provide you with the information you need. The Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) is also called a Driving Record or Driver’s History Report. At a glance, our Driver History Records can help you find the information you require in a single, affordable search!

Fees Associated with Motor Vehicle Record Searches

At our firm, we promote transparency. As such, we want you to have clarity on what you can expect to pay when requesting a motor vehicle record from one of the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Before we discuss the costs of these searches, it is important to note that each state has its unique “per-search” fee. This fee is charged every time anyone requests a motor vehicle record. Additionally, our low per-search fee comes into play when you partner with us to conduct driver history searches. This fee applies as we help you navigate the complexities associated with DMVs.
