Driving Records Release Form (Fillable PDF)

Employers, insurance carriers, and volunteer organizations often need a signed authorization before they can request a driver’s motor vehicle record. Our Driving Records Release Form is a free, fillable PDF that meets the standards set by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

Why You Need a Driving Records Release

A valid release protects you from legal exposure and ensures the driver’s privacy rights are respected. Without a signed form, you risk:

• Fines or penalties for non‑compliance with FCRA.
• Delays in hiring or insurance underwriting.
• Potential lawsuits from drivers claiming unauthorized access to their records.

How to Fill Out the Form Online

Instead of printing, signing, and scanning, simply click the "Fill out this form" button on this page. The Formize PDF Filler app loads instantly, letting you:

1. Enter driver and employer information directly into the fields.
2. Apply an electronic signature that is legally binding.
3. Save or submit the completed form with one click.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving the signature line blank. A handwritten or official electronic signature is required.
• Using a typed name instead of a signature. Typed text is not considered a valid release.
• Forgetting to fill the driver’s address. Incomplete addresses can cause the record request to be rejected.

Legal Requirements (FCRA & FMCSA)

The form complies with:

• FCRA §604: Requires a written authorization before a consumer report is obtained.
• FMCSA §395.5: Mandates driver‑record consent for commercial motor carriers.
