Finding out if someone has a drivers license requires completing a Request for Record Information form. You must have a specific reason for needing to obtain a copy of the license, such as for insurance purposes; pre-employment screening; criminal, civil, arbitral or administrative processing, and any other use specifically authorized by state law. If you do not have a specific legitimate reason for wanting a copy of someones drivers license, you will not be able to obtain one.
Step 1
out a Request for Record Information form. Such forms can be obtained through your states Department of Motor Vehicles website. You must have the name and birth date of the person you are requesting to correctly complete the form. Automated ($5 per record) and copies ($20 per record) are available.
Step 2
Complete the form one of three ways: online and ed, ed and completed by hand or ed and completed by typewriter. Be sure to fill out your complete mailing address in the Record Subjects Mailing Label section so the information you need can be mailed to you, as well as your reason for requesting the information.
Mail your completed form and appropriate fees to the Department of Motor Vehicles in the area where you are trying to find the license. If you are looking for someone in Sacramento, California, for example, you would mail the form and fee to their Department of Motor Vehicles Public Operations, Unit-G199. Requests are reviewed as to the legitimacy of the reason for needing a copy of the license and that the fee has been submitted. If the person you are seeking does have a license, the information will be mailed to you.
Tip
- You will not be able to obtain address information unless specifically cited by a state or federal statute that authorizes the release.
