Apply by Mail
You can order your driving record by mail by completing form BDVR-153, Requesting Your Own Record, and ing it to: Michigan Department of State, Record Lookup Unit, 7064 Crowner Drive, Lansing, MI 48918-1502. Include a check, money order or credit card details for the charge, which is $8 as of publication. Add $1 if you want a certified copy of the record. The department accepts MasterCard, Visa and Discover credit cards. You will receive the record at the address on file with the Secretary of State. If you want it mailed to a different address, indicate this in sections 1 and 5 on the order form. It will take three to eight weeks for your driving record to arrive.
Obtain the Record in Person
You can receive your driving record on the same day if you visit any of the branch offices. You dont need to submit a form -- just show your drivers license instead.
