Good to Know — Indiana Quirks
Indiana has two record products: the free VDR (view-only in myBMV, not certified - the BMV directs employers to the ODR instead) and the $4 ODR, a certified record accompanied by a BMV letter of certification. Order the ODR by mail if you do not know your license number.
Why You Need This Record
If you drive a commercial vehicle, your MVR does two jobs. First, FMCSA rule 49 CFR 391.23 requires a driving record from every state where you held a license in the last 3 years in your driver qualification (DQ) file — within 30 days of hire and annually after that. Owner-operators under their own authority keep a DQ file on themselves. Second, insurance carriers pull an MVR on every listed driver before releasing a quote; bringing a Indiana record dated within 30 days speeds up underwriting and avoids surprises at bind time.
