How does my account work? |
| |
When you first set up your
MVR account your account balance starts at $0.00. You will then
make an initial payment online. Each time you order an MVR the
agreed upon charge for each MVR will be deducted from your
account balance. Once the account balance reaches $0.00, it will
be necessary to make another payment in order to continue MVR
services. You may make payments at any time to increase your
account balance. |

What is the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act
(DPPA)? |
| |
The
Driver's Privacy Protection Act or
"DPPA" is a federal law (effective September 13, 1997) that
regulates the release and sharing of information from motor
vehicle records.
|
| |
- It regulates how motor vehicle
departments release motorists' records.
- It also regulates how the
recipients of motorists' records subsequently share
them
|
| |

| |
|
| |
What is the purpose of the
Driver's Privacy Protection Act? |
| |
The purpose is to limit the release of
motorists' personal information, such as name, address, and
driver license number. However, the law does allow release for
many clearly defined purposes.
|
| |
|
| |

| |
|
| |
What information does this
new law restrict? |
| |
The DPPA limits the release of personal
information. As stated in the DPPA (Sec. 2725 (3)):
|
| |
''personal information'' means
information that identifies an individual, including an
individual's photograph, social security number, driver
identification number, name, address (but not the 5-digit zip
code), telephone number, and medical or disability information,
but does not include information on vehicular accidents, driving
violations, and driver's status.
|
| |
|
| |
(Note: The personal information restricted
in New York under the DPPA is the name, address and driver
identification numbers. In New York State, photos, social
security numbers, telephone numbers and medical/disability
information have never been publicly available, and are not
available under DPPA even for a "permissible use." )

| |
What information does the
new law allow DMV to release? |
| |
The Department of Motor
Vehicles may release almost all motor vehicle records, including
"personal information", but only for a permissible use.
In addition, printed driver license abstracts
without personal information are available in person or
by mail from the DMV for those whose requests do not include
DPPA certifications of
permissible uses.
This "masked" abstract will contain all license, conviction,
accident and suspension/revocation information on the driver,
but not personal information. |

Will DMV remove personal
information from any of its records, so I can get them without
permissible use? |
| |
The only record that DMV will
provide, without personal information, is the printed "Abstract
of Operating Record" (driver license abstract). Keep in mind
that this shortened version of the abstract will show the type of license and its current status.
It will also show traffic convictions, suspensions, revocations
and accidents, but NOT "personal information."

|
| |
May I share with others
the information I receive? |
| |
You may share personal information with
others only if they have a
permissible use.
When you share this information with others, you must keep a
record of the transaction for five years. Your record must
include: whose personal information you shared, the identity of
the recipient, and their use for the information.
|
| |
|
| |

| |
|
| |
What happens if I share
personal information with someone who does not have a
permissible use? |
| |
There are criminal fines and
civil liabilities for knowingly violating the provisions and
restrictions of the Driver's Privacy Protection Act.
Many motor vehicle records contain
personal and non-personal information. You may remove the
personal information from a record and share only the
non-personal information if necessary. |
