Information on Michigan Driving Record Report

It is important to periodically check the status of your driver’s license, especially if you have been accused of traffic violations or criminal offenses that may be added to your record. In Michigan, you can obtain a driver’s license status report via mail, in person, or through an authorized third party. You can also contact the state driver’s license department to inquire about the status of your license. Even if you have not been charged with a recent offense, your driver’s license record could contain mistakes, which could result in eventual license suspension or revocation, higher insurance rates, and difficulty obtaining employment.

The Michigan Department of State is required to keep all offenses on record and any traffic violations, motor vehicle accidents, or alcohol convictions including DUI and OWI will be kept on your record, along with any driver’s license points. If you commit specific offenses or accumulate too many points on your license, you could be faced with a restricted, suspended, or revoked DL. Most convictions and offenses stay on your record for 7 years, while some can last 10 or more years. Points on your license are valid for 2 years after the offense, and avoiding the buildup of points can prevent the loss of driving privileges. Contact an attorney if you are facing DL penalties or if you have any questions about how your driving record could affect a current investigation or charge.
