MVR Fees by State: DMV Driving Record Costs
MVR fees by state vary, because every state charges its own driving record access fee.
Therefore, your total depends on the state that issued the license.
Use the table below to compare each state DMV fee for employment screening.
How MVR Pricing Works
Each employment driving record has up to three cost components.
1. Our Search Fee: $15.00
First, we charge a flat $15.00 for every driving record.
2. The State DMV Fee
Next, the state adds its own access fee, which the table lists.
3. Gateway Processing Fee
Finally, a gateway processing fee of $1 to $3 may apply.
However, you always see the final price before you place the order.
We have no control over any state fee increase.
Therefore, always confirm your total at checkout.

Why Do Driving Record Fees Differ by State?
No national price exists for a motor vehicle record.
Instead, each state DMV sets its own fee for record access.
Consequently, MVR fees by state range from under $1 to $27.50 in our table.
Record length also affects the price.
For example, Georgia charges $6.00 for three years and $8.00 for seven years.
Similarly, some states price employment or commercial records separately.
Delivery speed matters as well, because overnight records can cost less than instant ones.
Finally, California adds a $5.00 enrollment for its Employer Pull Notice (EPN) program.
