The retrieval industry often refers to driving records as "MVRs." Typical information on an MVR includes full name, address, Social Security Number, physical description and date of birth along with the conviction and accident history. Also, the license type, restrictions and/or endorsements can provide background data on an individual.
Vehicle registration records have an edge over driver's license records as an information source because they are updated yearly. They can provide you with the owner's name (sometimes both husband's and wife's), address, name and address of the bank or title-holder, usually a credit union or finance company. Of course, there is also the make, model, and year of the car, its license number and even its vehicle identification number. Some registration data is available from fee-based services, but due to privacy concerns, none is freely accessible on the Internet.
In recent years there have been major changes regarding the release of motor vehicle data to the public. This is the result of the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA). States differentiate between permissible uses - fourteen are designated in DPPA - and casual requesters to determine who may receive a record and/or how much personal information is reported on the record. Effective June 2000, if a state DMV chooses to sell a record to a "casual requester," the record can contain personal information only with the consent of the subject.
A 2001 amendment to the DPPA prohibits the states from selling lists of drivers or vehicle owners to commercial vendors and marketers unless the driver "Opts in." Ironically, as states are closing the door to many users, states are also moving towards making data readily available electronically to those with a permissible use.
Most states license, certify, or register professionals such as contractors, hair dressers, doctors, psychologists, private investigators, automobile repairers, accountants, electricians, funeral directors, and so forth.
The information available, however, is likely to be limited. Usually you can find out the date of licensing, a work address, date of birth and, in some cases, pertinent education. Few listings are online for free, though fee-based services offer licensing information for many states. Commercial vendors provide regionally focused information on licensing boards. Merlin specializes in California and KnowX focuses on Georgia. Therefore, they are particularly good sources for this kind of information.
