Chapter 3-6 FDPPA-What Can You Share The RMV Legal Department has confirmed that "it is acceptable to disclose the employee's driving record to the employer with any accidents, violations or DUIs that may be contained within it. The driving record is not personal information." So, yes, you can share the driving record for a commercial client's current employee, but it is still recommended that the employer get in the habit of having their drivers produce a driving record at the time of renewal each year and that those records should not be more than 30 days old. But aren't driving records public information? Yes, while driving records are public information and anyone can obtain one, they must be obtained from the proper source - the Registry of Motor Vehicles. To obtain a Public Driving Record someone can visit an RMV Service Center or purchase one online at massrmv.com. Remember, there are three types of Driving Records available (Public Driving Record, Personal Driving History and Full Certified Driving History). The following forms are available to make those requests: 1. Public Driving Record Request Form 2. Personal Driving History Form & Full Certified Driving History (Request for both types of records with one form. These requests must be made of the Court Records Department at the Registry of Motor Vehicle in Boston.) 3. Request for Personal Information in RMV Records Remember it is a misuse of an agent's access of RMV records to provide driving records to an employer for a potential new hire. Employers should request this information from the applicant during the hiring process. For driving jobs - this information is part of their resume. The agents access to RMV records is limited to rating, underwriting and claims Investigation. 05/18 3:38http://www.massrmv.com https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2018/03/21/DCU100%20-%20Public%20Driving%20Record%20Request%20Form.pdf https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2018/03/21/DCU101%20-%20Authorized%20Release%20of%20Personal%20Driving%20History%20or%20Full%20Certified%20Driving%20History.pdf https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2018/03/21/DCU140%20-%20Request%20for%20Personal%20Information%20in%20RMV%20Records.pdf
