In the state of Kentucky, for each driver’s license exist a driving history record. In the driving history records, you can find information such as identifying information, all the licenses that have been issued to you, traffic conviction information, and administrative entries regarding your driving privileges.
The Division of Driver Licensing keeps a full driving history record for CDL drivers and a 5-years history record for non-CDL drivers. Other than this, The Division of Driver Licensing submits three-year driving records to the public and third-party requesters. However, the three-year driving history record does not contain personal information such as an address, social security number, and description.
On the other hand, a full driving history record contains all personal information such as any traffic conviction information, any administrative entries regarding your driving privileges, all CDL related requirements as well as other information. If the person requests another person’s DHR, it is necessary to submit a notarized release from that driver or a subpoena.
