Driving Records

What you need to know about Driving Records.

The Division of Motor Vehicles is required to keep personal information on driving records confidential pursuant to RSA 260:14. The information is only available to certain persons who need the information to conduct their businesses, such as law enforcement, insurance companies, government agencies, or the individual themselves. Persons requesting records are screened to see if they fall within one of the permissible user groups. Driving records, with or without personal information, may not be obtained without consent or appropriate permission.

The Division of Motor Vehicles administers and enforces motor vehicle statutes that have a direct effect on an individual's driving record, the status of license/operating and vehicle registration privileges. It is the central site for data gathered from all law enforcement agencies, County, District, Superior and Circuit courts, and out-of-state motor vehicle registries.
