Are national driving records any different than the rest?

A national driving record will contain the same type of information as any other driving record. However national driving records differ from the state driving records.

A driving record of a person becomes national when he or she makes a serious traffic violation and their driving license is suspended or revoked. In such occasions State Departments of Motor Vehicles are required to report those records to the National Driver Register and they become the so called national driving records.

A national driving record will contain the name and age of the person, his adders, the type of traffic violation committed and the reporting state. In some cases the driving license number as well as the social security number will also be present in the record however this type of information is usually omitted for privacy reasons.

When it is good to check for national driving records and how to search for them?

There are several occasions in which it is good to check for national driving records. Apparently if you have a business that requires your employees to drive company cars or other vehicles, you will want to know if anyone had serious traffic violations and if his driving license has been suspended. If you are running a rent-a -car business it will also be a good idea to check the people who you give your cars.

National driving records can be obtained online through a public record database service. The search method is the same - you need the name of the person whose record you want to find. Some search engines also provide search by license plate.
