A driver’s driving record is information maintained in a database controlled by a state’s department of public safety, department of motor vehicles, or similar department or agency. The driver’s driving record generally includes the driver’s name, date of birth, address, license status, list of all accidents, and list of all moving violations on record.

A driver may want to request their driving record to prove to a court the driver is eligible for a driving safety or defensive driving course; to confirm that penalty points on a driver’s license have been removed after completing a driving safety or defensive driving course; or to persuade an insurance company to give the driver a better rate on insurance premiums.

In Louisiana, a driver's driving record, also known as a motor vehicle record (MVR), is maintained by the Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV), which is part of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. This record includes the driver's personal information such as name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as their driving history, including all accidents and moving violations. Drivers in Louisiana may request their driving record for various reasons, including to provide evidence of eligibility for a driving safety or defensive driving course, to verify the removal of penalty points after course completion, or to negotiate better insurance rates. The process for obtaining a driving record typically involves submitting a request to the OMV, which may be done online, by mail, or in person, and may require payment of a fee. It's important for drivers to periodically review their driving record to ensure accuracy and to address any discrepancies that may affect their driving privileges or insurance premiums.
