How to Request Your New York Driving Record

New York offers many options for requesting your New York driving record.  Detailed instructions follow.

Online - Immediate Download

This is the fastest way to get a copy of your driving record.  You must register (if you haven't already) at NYS MyDMV (https://my.dmv.ny.gov/crm/), and will need to provide your drivers license and social security numbers.  Your record will be available for immediate download (as a pdf).  

Online - Driving Record Mailed within 2 Weeks

If you prefer NOT to register at NYS MyDMV, you can still make your request online (https://transact.dmv.ny.gov/PersonalAbstracts/), but your record will be mailed to you usually within two weeks.  

By Mail

To request your driving record by mail, complete the NY Request for DMV Records form and send it to the address on the form, along with a $10 check or money order ( payable to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles) and a copy of your drivers license.  

By Phone

Requesting your driving record by phone is more time-consuming than online, but it is possible.  Simply call the DMV Call Center at

on weekdays between 8 AM and 4 PM.

In Person

Take a completed form MV-15C (NY DMV Request for Driving Record Information) and $10 to one of the many NY DMV offices.
