Endorsements
MVR reports list driver endorsements, indicating additional qualifications like commercial vehicle permits. Employers assess if applicants meet necessary requirements for specific job roles involving specialized driving.
Suspensions
MVR reports detail license suspensions for various reasons beyond DUIs, offering insight into an applicant’s driving history and potential risks for employers.

A potential candidate’s MVR background report is relevant to you (the employer) if a job requires driving or operating any type of motor vehicle.
There are many types of motor vehicles and large distinctions when it comes to the reporting of MVR background checks. Our services include the details of all the following history reports: Trucking or Freight, Ambulance, Delivery, Bus, Public Transit, and any everyday drivers. The importance of checking a candidate’s MVR background report, in certain industries, is the same as verifying a medical license or criminal history.
It is essential for employers to check that their candidate has a valid driver’s license that is in good standing for positions that involve driving, they possess a license and the required training for the position; and don’t have an MVR record of reckless, under the influence, or distracted driving.
MVR Reports Content:
MVR reports typically provide driving history for a specific timeframe. The industry standard for MVR reports is generally a seven-year search. Some states may allow longer periods of history to be included in MVR reports. Unlike criminal background checks, there isn’t a unified national rule for the timeframe covered in MVR reports. MVR reports focus on recent driving history to assess an individual’s suitability for positions involving driving responsibilities.
