The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (DOT) is the government agency responsible for driver records. This agency acts as a Pennsylvania DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) in other states. They issue records upon request for employers, government agencies, and individuals.
The state offers five types of driving records. The basic information report does not include the driver's history. The state also offers a 3-year and 10-year report which does offer driving history. A full history is also available, along with a certified copy which must be obtained in person or by mail. Car insurance companies may use these reports to set insurance rates or decide whether or not to insure commercial drivers.
These records do contain personal driver information, and therefore, requestors must comply with all Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) laws. Some of the personal information may include the driver's name, full address, social security number, date of birth, physical description, and if they hold a CDL, medical information. The other data includes accident history, license status, license points, traffic violations, driving convictions, license suspensions, revocations, and cancellations.
The Penn DOT has an online services portal where individuals can get a copy of their own report. However, anyone needing a copy for someone else must get it either in person or through the mail.
The state has a downloadable form that can be filled out and sent in with payment (in the form of check or money order) to:
Bureau of Driver Licensing Driver Record Services
P.O. Box 68695

Some driving laws in the state from the DOT include:
"School zone signals are flashing yellow signals placed on the school zone speed limit signs. You must travel no faster than 15 mph when the yellow signals are flashing or during the time periods indicated on the sign. Exceeding the speed limit in a school zone will result in three (3) points on your driving record, and you will also be fined."
"A FOUR-WAY STOPsign means there are four stop signs at this intersection. Traffic from all four directions must stop. The first vehicle to reach the intersection should move forward first. If two vehicles reach the intersection at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. If facing one another, both can proceed with caution, watching for possible turns. "
"Turn on your headlights when traveling through a work zone, no matter what time of day. This is the law for allposted work zones, not just for active ones. Using your headlights makes your vehicle more visible to other traffic as well as to highway workers. If you are pulled over by police for a traffic violation in a work zone and your vehicle's headlights are not turned on, you will be fined an additional $25."
The state uses a point system for driving violations, and if someone earns 6, they are given a warning and must take a written test. After that, if they reach 6 more, they will lose their license and suffer further punishments.
