Driver History
The Driver History and the Driver Status have been used since the 1960s, to communicate Drivers Control Records and Driver Abstracts. Today the Status and History continue to be used in data exchanges between MVAs and when MVAs provide driver details to authorized parties. The most common use being checks on Driver Licenses by Law Enforcement. The list below shows the business elements exchanged between MVAs, When a Driver History is being provided by an MVA to agencies in the same state, additional elements needed to support state regulations may need to be included, these elements are not shown below.
A Driver History or Status can be provided for a person with a license, permit and/or ID card. It can also be provided for a person who has never held a license, permit or ID card, but who has been convicted of a driving offense.
The following table lists the business elements sent in a typical Driver History implementation for sharing records between MVAs, A Status includes the same data, but without the Crash, Conviction and Withdrawal data (shaded in blue). The elements provided in a given Driver History or Status, are based on the elements available on the Driver Control Record held by the MVA (e.g. if a person has never held a license, their record will not have any Driver License Endorsement data). The table contains:
- Data Element: Identifies the Data Element and its indent shows if it is part of a group of elements. (Primary business elements (listed below in bold) are described in D20. However the driver history also includes some variants of these elements which are not included in D20. E.g. the "Birth Date" is in D20, but the "AKA Birth Date" is not).
- CDL Crdty: Described the cardinality of an element, for someone who currently holds or previously held a commercial drivers license. It shows the minimum and maximum number of occurrences of the element, within its group. E.g. a cardinality of an element may be "1-1" and its parent group may be "0-1", this indicates the group is optional, but when the group is present then the element is required.
- Base DL Crdty: Described the cardinality of an element, for someone who currently holds or previously held a base driver license, but who has never held a CDL.
- ID Card Crdty: Described the cardinality of an element, for someone who currently holds or previously held an ID Card, but who has never held a CDL or a base license.
