FAQ’s
Why conduct a driving record check?
It might seem obvious to conduct a driving record check for a candidate that will be driving a company vehicle or driving their own vehicle on company time, but a driving record can also provide great insight into candidates character.
You could learn things about a candidate such as drug and alcohol usage. dangerous driving habits and general irresponsibility. Driving records generally show the employer the validity of the license, any violations, suspensions, accidents and various other pieces of information.
Will the Motor Vehicle Report distinguish between a driver’s license, temporary permit and an identification card?
Absolutely. The Crimcheck Motor Vehicle Report will specify whether a license is valid, suspended or expired, and will identify whether it is a temporary permit or an identification card only.
Will DUI’s show up on the Motor Vehicle Report or as a criminal record?
A DUI will always show up as a criminal offense if it falls in a jurisdiction that is searched. It will most likely show up on the Motor Vehicle Report as well, as long as it has been reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Can you run different licenses from 2 states?
Yes. All you would need to do is provide the second driver’s license number and state and Crimcheck can do the rest!
