The Georgia Department of Driver Services (the state's version of a DMV) is the state agency that handles all motor vehicle record requests. They maintain records and provide copies to individuals and organizations. However, if someone needs a copy for someone other than themselves, they need the driver's signature due to the Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) laws.
The Georgia Department of Driver Services offers three types of records, a 3-year and 7-year non-certified copy or a lifetime certified copy of their motor vehicle record (MVR). The certified copy is for insurance, employment, and other official purposes and will be stamped official by the DDS agency. Businesses that request these reports often can sign up for bulk pricing (more than 50 requests per year).
A typical motor vehicle report will show the person's name, address, license status, traffic violations, citations, DUIs, reported accidents, any license suspensions or revocations, and medical information. It may also include personal details (with an individual copy) such as the person's social security number, birth date, height, weight, hair and ‘eye color, and driver's license number.
The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) offers four ways for individuals and companies to get a copy of someone's driving record. First, they have created a mobile app where drivers can view the past two years of history for free. They can also request (certified or non-certified) copies sent to them for a fee.
Drivers can also create an online account and order copies of their driving records that way. Users can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. They can also print out a payment coupon and mail in a check, cashier's check, or money order.
Individuals can also order by mail by downloading the application, completing it, and sending in their payment. When ordering by mail, they will need their full name, license number, date of birth, home address, and a stamped, self-addressed envelope. They must send all that with payment to:
