Requests for National Driver Register (NDR) Record Checks
Who May Obtain an NDR Record Check
1) Any person may ask to know whether there is an NDR record on him or her and may obtain a copy of the
record if one exists. Requests from individuals require Form DMV 07-70. Form DMV 07-70 can be obtained from the
Department of Motor Vehicles; however, all Individual Requests must be mailed directly to the National Driver
Register.
Do not mail Individual Request Forms to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
2) Employers of drivers, locomotive engineers and air carriers may also obtain NDR record checks. Every
driver, operator or pilot on whom an NDR file check is requested is entitled to review the NDR report(s) provided to
the employer. The results of the NDR check will be mailed only to the current or prospective employer or third party
service provider. If no employer is named on the form or it is changed, the request will not be processed.
The following authorization applies to Railroad Company Requests
