I got a job offer with a federal government contractor. Now they need to do a background check. On the form it states that i need to list all the traffic violation that is over $100 in fines i had. Well since DMV is only keeping the driving records for about 3 yrs or so, i cant remember all the minor violations i had prior to that. Most of them are minor ones. Where else you think i can obtain my driving record? Is there such service like the ones we use to check our credits?

Look for this on the front page: **Order an Abstract of Your Driver Record**

You can only obtain your driving record for the past THREE years. I’m trying to get my whole record.

Maybe your insurance company has a more detailed background check. I would just write the ones off the DMV records, and say you can’t recall the rest since you don’t remember. Are they doing a single scope background investigation on you? Your credit history is probably more important to them.
