Question: I am applying for a new job that will have questions about my driving record. Can I visit with someone from law enforcement to get a copy of that?

Answer: No, this is not something that law enforcement agencies can provide.

If you want to know what employers and insurers see, the Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) division has made it easier than ever to get a copy of either your certified or noncertified record. A certified driving record includes your entire driving history in Minnesota. A noncertified record shows a five-year history of driver convictions. You can now use the online record request to get your records.
