The Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security is the government agency responsible for driver records. The agency acts like a DMV (department of motor vehicles). This department issues them to individuals and companies in need of the information. Auto insurance companies use these records to set insurance rates and decide to insure motorists. Employers and government agencies use them for background checks.
The state allows people to request records in a few different ways, and they offer a 3-year and 10-year report. However, the state follows strict Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) laws and does not print the driver's address on reports to protect the indivdiual's privacy.
Other personal information may appear on reports, such as the driver's name, date of birth, social security number, and Tennessee driver's license number. Along with these items, the report will also show accident history, license status, driving offenses, traffic violations, moving violations, traffic citations, driver points, license suspensions, revocations, and cancellations.
The state offers a few different ways to get a copy of someone's driving history. The first is using the online portal. When someone uses the system, they must pay by credit card and have their name, date of birth, TN driver's license number, and social security number. The requestor can then print or save the document after purchase.
Another way to get records is in person at a driver services center. There are quite a few around the state. The requestor will need the subject's name, driver's license number, and date of birth. If ordering for someone else, they also need a notarized consent form from the subject.
Residents can also request records by mail. The state does not have an order form, but someone can send in a request with the fee and mail it to:
Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
MVR Request
PO BOX 945
Nashville, TN 37202
Ordering by mail takes at least two weeks to get the copy.
These records will not show the driver's home address per DPPA laws.
Regardless of how someone requests records, the fee for a report is $5. The state offers 3-year and 10-year copies. When paying in person or by mail, the requestor can pay with a cashier's check or money order.
Someone must be 15 years or older to apply for their learner's permit. The state uses a graduated driver's license (GDL) program. Learner's permit holders must follow strict rules such as supervised driving, driver's education, and a test before they can apply for their intermediate restricted or unrestricted driver's license.
