New Hampshire Motor Vehicle Records (MVR’s) report the applicants’ statewide driving records, including Commercial Driver's License status (CDL) for at least 3 years, oftentimes up to 7 years. It is logical to screen New Hampshire motor vehicle records for any employment position requiring driving, such as trucking, transportation, delivery, DOT compliance or any use of company vehicles. However the MVR provides additional valuable insight into the character of the applicant regardless of the position being filled. Most importantly, the New Hampshire MVR is the only source for a verified date-of-birth which is critical for an accurate criminal record search. New Hampshire County court criminal records are filled by name and date-of-birth, not by SSN!
