Past Dui's

I lived for 20 years in Florida. So if I call the DMV there I can get a "lifetime mvr" that will show FL and all the states I've lived in since I started driving?

Interesting point, although I'm not sure if you can go back that far (lifetime) with one particular state, and not sure how much that would cost. It's been awhile, but I think PA only does 10 years back for a print-out. That doesn't mean your lifetime history isn't still there for grabs.

I suppose any company can get that info if they look at your driving record. I'd surmise this goes along with why a CDL holder can't get away with holding more than one license from different states.

As far as you being able to get that info to "check" on your own driving record? Not sure how that works since I've only held a license in one state.

The main point for the OP to "take home," and any other applicable reader, is that your driving history record is not affected by an expunged DUI , in other words, it will still show up on your MVR.

What may show up is the reinstatement of your license. Which would be a red flag if recent

In Florida (for example) older minor offenses "fall off" your MVR after 5 years. Dismissals come off immediately, and withheld adjudications, typically, after 5 years.

My florida "Lifetime MVR" shows my "original issue" (learners permit) as 12/24/75. It shows an "ID Card" issued 9/29/93 (license was suspended for points) but doesn't show that I was living in NC at the time (for a year) and got my NC License before the date my Florida suspension actually hit (so I wasn't lying when I got my NC, because I wasn't suspended at the time - my license EXPIRED 9/12, my suspension hit 9/30). But my driving record DOESN'T SHOW the tickets that got me a point suspension - NOR DOES IT SHOW THE SUSPENSION.

It doesn't show any of my pre-1989 stuff, where I got a lot of tickets (I was a bad boy) nor my teen years (where I was a REALLY BAD BOY) where I talked the judge into dropping all my pending cases (in '79) because I was joining the Navy (where I got a Cali drivers license as soon as I got out of boot camp).

I have NO DUI's - EVER - ANYWHERE. And here's the rub - when you get ARRESTED for a DUI, you get FINGERPRINTED when you are booked. A COPY of those prints gets sent to the FBI/NCIC - and that ARREST shows up on a "deep background". I know this, because Border Patrol gave me a hard time about some really really OLD STUFF - when I tried to get my F.A.S.T. border card for Canada - and I've been in & out of Canada multiple times without an issue.

Now - states are "supposed to" have reciprocity for tickets. Tickets gotten OUT OF STATE are supposed to be reported to your home state.

Also - if you traded your Fl (or wherever) license in for your current state - your current states MVR will show that you transferred your license in (supposedly).

I'm glad they don't go back that far either :)

Once you go beyond running stop signs and into the realm of DUI, it becomes less of a DMV record issue and more of a NCIC check. Companies can run both and I'm sure most do.

When I got my job with FedEx I was at my current state DMV trying to get a new license. They would not issue it to me saying I had a "problem" back in 1981 and had to call Connecticut to resolve the issue.

Turns out I had an unpaid speeding ticket from 1981. Paid it and got issued my new license. Keep in mind this was after three deep background checks for TSSI/SCI clearance, three new jobs and two states drivers license. No one ever told me a peep about this. And I had COMPLETELY forgotten about it.

Oh, and this only happened a little over a year ago :)
