What an MVR Shows
A Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) shows an applicant's driving record from the state, such as license status and driving history. What is reported, and how far back, depends on the state. MVRs usually return in minutes. State fees may apply.
Who Needs MVR Checks
- Commercial drivers and delivery drivers.
- Employees who drive company vehicles or drive for work.
- Forklift, warehouse and field roles where driving is part of the job.
- Roles where your insurance carrier requires a driving record review.
MVRs for DOT-Regulated Drivers
Motor carriers have their own FMCSA driving-record requirements, such as obtaining driving records from each state where a driver held a license before hire and reviewing them annually. SaffHire's DOT-related packages include MVR checks along with DOT drug and alcohol testing and criminal history searches.
Compliance
Before ordering, the employer gives the applicant a standalone written disclosure and gets written authorization; SaffHire's invitation workflow collects both electronically. Employers remain responsible for their own hiring decisions and legal compliance.
