Can you run a motor vehicle records check for a previous state where an applicant held a drivers license?
A. No, an applicant can only legally hold one driver’s license. When people apply for a new driver’s license in their state of residence, they must turn in their previous driver’s license. The Bureaus of Motor Vehicles from all states are linked to check a National Driver Registry (NDR) to make sure the person does not have any suspensions, pending violations, etc. before a new driver’s license is issued. The NDR is available only to the Bureaus of Motor Vehicles.
