    Overview of Michigan Driving Records

    A driving record, or driver's history, is a document provided by the Michigan Secretary of State (SOS) that details your driving history, including any traffic violations, accidents, points, and license suspensions or revocations. Individuals might need a copy of their driving record for employment purposes, insurance inquiries, or personal review.

    How to Obtain Your Driving Record

    You can purchase your Michigan driving record online, by mail, or in person at any Secretary of State office. Each method requires you to provide identifying information, such as your driver's license number, full name, and date of birth.

    Online Purchase

    The quickest way to obtain your driving record is through the Michigan SOS website. You'll need to create an account or log in, provide the required information, and pay the fee with a credit or debit card. The record can often be accessed immediately after purchase.

    Mail Purchase

    To purchase your driving record by mail, complete the required form available on the SOS website, include a check or money order for the fee, and mail it to the address provided. This method takes longer, so allow several weeks for processing and delivery.

    In-Person Purchase

    Visiting a Secretary of State office allows you to purchase and receive your driving record on the same day. Bring your identification and payment for the fee. It's recommended to check if an appointment is needed before your visit.

    Fees and Processing Time

    The fee for purchasing a driving record varies, so check the current cost on the SOS website or at an SOS office. Online and in-person requests are typically processed immediately, while mail requests require additional time for processing and delivery.

    Protecting Your Privacy

    Your driving record contains personal and sensitive information. Keep it secure and share it only with trusted entities for legitimate purposes. The Michigan SOS ensures the privacy and protection of your driving history according to state and federal laws.
