MVR stands for Motor Vehicle Record, which is an official record of a persons driving history. It contains information related to a drivers qualifications and history, such as license class and status, accident records, and convictions on driving-related charges such as DUI or reckless driving. MVRs are maintained by each states department of motor vehicles (DMV) .

MVRs are used by employers, insurance companies, and law enforcement agencies to assess a drivers behavior and potential risk. For some commercial driving positions, regular MVR checks and ongoing DMV notifications may be required.

To obtain an MVR, individuals can request their own records through the DMV website or by contacting driver services and filling out a request form. Insurance providers, businesses, and government entities can also order MVRs online through services like MVR Online.
