National Driver Register (NDR) File Check
What is the National Driver Register?
The National Driver Register (NDR) is a nationwide database of information about individuals whose privilege to drive has been revoked, suspended, canceled, or denied, or who have been convicted of serious traffic-related offenses.
The records provide information about actions reported in the last 3 years, including the:
- Driver’s name, date of birth, and gender.
- Driver license number.
- State where the action was taken.
The records don’t include detailed information to confirm identity or the contents of a driver record. This information is available only from the state where the action was taken.
Who may request an NDR record check?
- You can get a copy of your own record by submitting a National Driver Register File Check Request. The results will be sent directly to you, and will also list all the individuals or companies who have received a report about you.
- Employers of drivers and locomotive engineers may get NDR record checks for current or prospective employees by submitting a National Driver Register File Check and Abstract of Driving Record Request for Current or Prospective Employee with the fee. The results will be mailed only to the employer or third-party service provider who made the request. However, drivers or operators are entitled to review NDR reports sent to employers.
