The Florida Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is the government agency in the state that handles driving records and other vehicle/driver-related information. It is the state's version of a Florida DMV. They provide copies of motor vehicle records (mvr) upon request to individuals and companies. However, all driver records are protected by state and federal Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) laws.
These laws protect the driver's personal information like social security number, driver license or ID card number, name, and address. However, DPPA does not protect date of birth, driving violations, and driver status. Additionally, due to Florida Statute 119, the state will block address and date of birth for people in high-risk positions such as law enforcement, judges, tax collector, or other public officials.
The FLHSMV provides three types of records, a 3-year, 7-year, and a complete report. All three reports will contain the person's name, date of birth, guilty traffic violations, car crashes, license suspensions, revocations, cancellations, disqualification, and D6 suspensions. The complete report will also include all ID issuance, driver exams passed, and correspondence from the FLHSMV.
The Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is the state agency in charge of motor vehicle records. The agency makes it easy for someone to get a copy of their own driving record. They offer a way for someone to check the status of their driver's license by using an online tool called the "Online Driver License Check."
Individuals can also purchase a copy of a 3-year, 7-year, or complete motor vehicle report in person at any license service center, select court clerks, or a private vendor. They may also order by mail, by downloading the Driver License Request Form and mailing it in with the proper fee (either $8 or $10) to:
Bureau of Records
2900 Apalachee Parkway, MS 52
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0575
Anyone requesting a copy of someone else's report must also include a copy of the Driver License Record Request Form with the driver's name, date of birth, age, social security number, Florida driver's license number, and the address to send the requested copy. An example would be an auto insurance company when setting car insurance rates.
All checks and money orders should be made out to the Division of Motorist Services.
The Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles offer three different types of driver records. The 3-year driver history record costs $8, and the 7-year or complete driver history records (certified copy) costs $10.
Fees may be paid by check or money order.

A complete driver history record will contain all the items from both of the reports above, going back to when the individual was first issued a license. It also contained all correspondence with the department and correspondence "indicating adjudication withheld-clerk of the court (the person made school election when not eligible or made the election but did not complete the course)."
