- 1). Decide what kind of driving history record you need. Some states, like Georgia, only allow you to receive non-official copies online; you must visit a branch in person to get a certified driving record copy. Some employers may require only a certified copy of your driver's record.
- 2). Visit the website or local office of your state's motor vehicles division. If you are not already acquainted with this information, you can visit DMV.org to find the appropriate contact details.
- 3). Order a copy of your driving record online if your state permits this method and you don't need a certified copy. This step requires you to at a minimum enter your full name, current address and driver's license number. If you require a certified copy, proceed to step 6.
- 4). Pay any required fees online using your credit or debit card. Fees range depending on state. For example, as of 2010 a New Jersey driver would pay $15 for a non-certified copy of a driving history record ordered online. On the other hand, a Georgia driver ordering such a record in 2010 could expect to spend $6 for a three-year history or $8 for a seven-year history.
- 5). Download and save or print your driving history record.
- 6). Visit your local branch of your state motor vehicles division if you require a certified copy or your state does not enable online ordering of driving history records.
- 7). Ask the information clerk for any forms required to request your driving history record. You may also be given a number to wait for assistance.
- 8). Fill out any required forms. When it is your turn to be assisted by a motor vehicles division clerk, provide any required paperwork. You'll also need to show your driver's license.
- 9). Pay any fees expected by your state motor vehicles division. These often range from about $5 to $15 as of 2010. Most motor vehicles offices accept cash, check, credit or debit card. If you need multiple certified copies, you'll have to pay multiple fees.

Wait for your driving history record. You can make personal copies and store them as appropriate. However, these will be considered non-certified for any official purpose such as employment or insurance.
