A driving record is a unique storage of information about an individual’s driving history. It is also called a driver abstract, motor vehicle report and a driver’s license check. It can affect your ability to get hired and the price you pay for car insurance.
Obtaining Arkansas Driving Records
Getting a copy of your individual driving record can be done in a few different ways. You can order your record online, have it mailed to your home address, or pick it up at the Arkansas Revenue Office or the Little Rock Driving Records Office.
There are two different options for the length of record you can obtain. The first is an insurance record, which covers the previous three-year period leading up to the date you requested the record. The second is an employment or commercial driver record, which contains information that dates further back than three years.
Arkansas Driving Records Cost
You can obtain your Arkansas driving record through the online system at the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) website. For an insurance record of three years, it will cost you $10. For a more in-depth commercial driver or employment record, it will cost you $13.
If you decide to have the record mailed to you or you personally pick it up at one of the locations listed above, the prices will be cheaper than online. In these instances, an insurance record is $7 and an employment or commercial driver’s record is $10.
Who Can Obtain Arkansas Driving Records
According to the Arkansas SC 27-50-901, all Arkansas driving records are considered confidential. The only way an employer, insurance company, or anyone else can access your driving record is by explicit consent.
This explicit consent must be in the form of a release. The release form must be dated and signed by the driver. In addition, it must contain the driver’s name, their license number, and their date of birth.
Any release that doesn’t contain all of this information will not be valid. All forms which do have this information are valid for up to 5 years from the date of signing, unless a written withdrawal is received by the Arkansas Government.
