Frequently asked questions

How long does an MVR take?

Most MVRs return the same business day. A handful of states process through slower channels and can take up to one business day.

Can I pull an MVR in any state?

Yes. We support MVR searches in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. Some states require additional consent or candidate-signed forms, which our workflow requests automatically.

Do you support CDL and DOT requirements?

Yes. We handle CDL pre-employment verification, annual MVR requirements under 49 CFR Part 391, and integrate with the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse for queries.

Can I monitor drivers continuously?

Yes. Continuous MVR monitoring runs in the background and alerts you when a driver's license status or violations change, without re-pulling a full report.

What is the lookback window for violations?

Most states return three to seven years of violation history. Some return a longer window. Your report will note the state-specific period so you can apply a consistent hiring standard.
