RECORD TYPES There are five types of driving records available: Certified court prints; non-employment driving records; non-employment, open-ended driving records; and employment driving records. The certified court print driving record includes most traffic violations and accident entries for at least the previous five years. Serious criminal traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence of intoxicants, may remain on the record permanently. The 3-year non-employment driving record has entries for at least the previous three years. This record lists all non-employment-related accidents, convictions, suspensions, cancellations, revocations, and diversion agreements. The non-employment, open-ended driving record contains the same information as a non- employment driving record but is not limited to three years and is available only for the purpose of providing insurance discount(s) to an individual. The 3-year employment driving record is a three-year record that is limited to convictions and accidents the driver had while on the job. The certified court print with CDL medical certification driving record is a certified court print that includes commercial driver license medical certification information. For each record type, there are two versions of the record available: (1) a version containing the driver’s personal information and (2) a version that has the driver’s personal information removed (sanitized). Personal information is removed from a record if a requestor does not qualify to receive it under Oregon’s Record Privacy Law (ORS 802.175-802.191) or does not have a written, notarized permission slip from the individual whose information is requested. Personal information is: driver license, driver permit or identification number; name; address; and telephone number. Under Oregon’s Record Privacy Law, only certain qualified entities are allowed to receive personal information. These include such entities as attorneys, legitimate businesses, insurance companies, police agencies, and other government agencies. See the Records, Privacy & Account Holders section on the DMV website (www.oregondmv.com) for additional information. 3 DRIVING RECORD EXAMPLE 4 The above example is a Driver License Information record, which has minimal information.

It starts at the top left addressed to the individual or agency that ordered the record followed by the letter identification number and the date it was issued on the top right.
