How do I get a copy of my
California Driving Record?
Your DMV record is available to you during normal working hours. You may
obtain a copy of your California driving license/identification card and/or
vehicle/vessel registration information by:
- Visiting your local DMV office (make
an appointment for
faster service)
- Completing a Request for Driver Record Information form
INF
1125
- Showing identification
- Paying the $5 fee
If going into a local field office is not convenient for you or you are
out of state, you may request your record by mail. Complete the INF
1125 form available on this web site or prepare a written request, including
your name, date of birth, social security number, California driver license
number, and your signature, along with a check or money order for $5, and
mail to:
Department of Motor Vehicles
Office of Information Services
Public Operations Unit G199
P. O. BOX 944247

DMV can also provide you a copy of your spouse or minor children's record
as long as they are living at the same address. The INF
70D/70R Request
for Driver License/Identification Card or the Request for Vehicle/Vessel
Registration form must be completed and submitted with the appropriate
fee (provided on the form) for each request.
If a spouse or child is not living at the same address, please see "How
to get a copy of someone else's driver license, ID card, vehicle or vessel
record?"
