Take a 2-minute survey about your use of driver's records.

Overview

A driver record, also called an abstract, is a government-issued document with information about a driver and their driver's licence.

You may need a driver record:

  • to apply for a job
  • as an employer considering candidates
  • for vehicle insurance, for example when you apply
  • to apply for a driver's licence in another province, territory or country
  • to confirm a driver's address in court

Before you order

Choose the appropriate record before you order.

Records may be uncertified or certified. Uncertified records meet most people's needs. A certified record has a seal from the Ministry of Transportation and is typically required for legal reasons only.

You can choose to order:

  • online
  • in person
  • by mail

Payment and delivery options vary and depend on how you choose to order.

  • name (as it appears on the driver's licence)
