There are limits as to who can see you driving record. In Arizona, only the driver in question, those who have your signed consent, members of the government, lawyers who need it for a court case, prospective employers looking to hire you as a driver, and insurance company representatives are allowed to request a copy. Others who may access copies include researchers interested in statistical information, towing companies, private toll facilities, and anyone else needing it for matters of public safety. However, if this is the case, not all of your personal information will be revealed.

That list should give you an understanding as to why you might need to see a copy yourself. The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) logs your information dating back as far as five years. If you’re applying for insurance or a job that requires you to drive, you might want to request a copy in order to be aware of what others will see. That way, you can be prepared to answer questions about anything listed on your record.

In addition, having a copy of your Arizona driving record when you’re involved in a court battle can be beneficial. It is always important to be prepared for what the other side may have to say. You might even see some mistakes on your driving record that you can have corrected before others view the information.
