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 North Carolina, a driver's driving record, also known as a driver history report, is maintained by the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV). This record includes the driver's personal information such as name, date of birth, address, and license status, as well as a detailed list of all accidents and moving violations. Drivers in North Carolina can 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 potentially obtain lower insurance premiums. The NCDMV offers drivers the ability to request their driving records online, by mail, or in person at a local DMV office. There may be a fee associated with obtaining a driving record, and it can be requested in different formats, such as a certified or non-certified record, depending on the driver's needs.
