The first method is going to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), waiting in line, filling out a form, and paying a fee to get a copy of your DMV records. This method is very time consuming and often people can only get a copy of their own driver record from the DMV.
Paired with the requirement for all US states to store an electronic copy of all valid drivers licenses in their state, a publicly accessible driver's license database search has been formed. This website and the Motor Vehicle Operators Organization (MVOO) is not owned or operated by any government agency.

A California driver’s license (DL) is a card which gives you permission to operate a motor vehicle. A DL includes your true full name, birthdate, mailing address, signature, photograph, and physical description. The card must be in your possession anytime you operate a motor vehicle. California Department of Motor Vehicles Since 1931, the California Department of Motor Vehciels provides a multitude of motor vehicle and driver services. You can view register your vehicle here, get a driver’s license, transfer vehicle titles and much more. Everyone that drives has had some experience with dealing with the California DMV.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Name Search Problems - When I hit the submit button it is very slow.

Narrow the search criteria by entering all or part of the first name. When searching for common surnames (i.e., 'Jones', 'Smith' ) also enter as much of the first name as possible.(i.e., 'smith robert')

How can I find a name when I am not sure of the spelling?

Enter an underscore ( _ ) in place of any characters to be used as 'wild cards' (i.e., smith r_b'). Wild cards cannot be used in the first two positions.

I get the error 'License Number not found.' and I know it is a valid License Number. Why?

Be sure that you are entering a zero '0' and not an alpha 'O'. License numbers never begin with an alpha character.

After I search for one agent all subsequent searches bring back the same record. Why?
