Vehicle records request procedure
Motor vehicle record requests
You can request copies of motor vehicle records by completing a Record Request Form (PS2502).
If you are requesting copies of someone else's record, the form lists acceptable reasons to receive the information. Alternatively, you can provide written authorization from the person by submitting a Grant Access to Record Authorization Form (PS2506).
Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) reviews each request to determine whether the requester is allowed to receive the information.
There is a fee for obtaining a record.
