National Driver Register (NDR) File Check
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National Driver Register (NDR) is a nationwide database of information about individuals whose privilege to drive has been revoked, suspended, canceled, or denied, or who have been convicted of serious traffic-related offenses.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, gender, driver license number, and the state where the action was taken. The records do not 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.
