SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – July 13, 2004 – If you're in the market for automobile insurance or are applying for jobs that involve driving a vehicle, you might need to access something called your "driving record" (also known as your Motor Vehicle Record or MVR). Of course, there's also that little thing called curiosity—perhaps you're interested to see exactly what information is included in your driving record. Thanks to a new service available through the state's official Web site at www.Utah.gov, Utahns can now access their own state driving record at any time of the day or night from the comfort of home or office.

In the past, citizens needing a copy of their driving record had to go in person to a Driver's License office to make their request. Now, citizens can visit Utah.gov and, with a few clicks of the mouse, view and print their driving record. The whole process takes less than five minutes to complete.

"We process approximately 70,000 requests each year for citizens to access their driving records," said Judy Hamaker Mann, Director of the Driver License Division at the Utah Department of Public Safety. "We're proud to be able to provide this new and convenient online option for citizens."

The new online Driving Record System launched this week on Utah.gov. In accordance with the Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), the online system employs high-level authentication technology to ensure privacy and security. Here's what you'll need to use the new online system:

• Internet access
• A printer to print a copy of your driving record
• To log in, you'll need your last name, date of birth, last four digits of your Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number, and Utah driver's license number
• Valid MasterCard or Visa credit card
• Adobe Acrobat Reader – to download the latest version for free, visit www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Driver records accessed online contain the following information:

• Driver's name and date of birth
• License number, type, and status
• Original license issue and expiration dates
• Commercial status and license endorsements
• Moving citations (citations issued for three years for non-alcohol and 10 years for alcohol-related violations)
• Arrests (all DUI arrests received in the past 10 years)
• Department actions
