Florida DMV records: driving history, access and privacy

Florida driver records are not one unrestricted public-record product. FLHSMV sells defined 3-year, 7-year, complete, and certified transcripts, and personal identifying information is subject to privacy restrictions.

Public driver-history access and protected personal data are not the same thing

Record product

  • FLHSMV can provide defined driver-history transcripts when the requester satisfies the applicable access rules.
  • The request form includes a certification about entitlement to receive and redisclose the information.

Protected information

  • Name, address, and driver-license number are personal information that Florida treats as exempt from general public disclosure except where law permits access.
  • Medical, Social Security, and emergency-contact information have still tighter disclosure limits.
