Commercial MVR reports
For customers subject to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, Checkr's commercial MVR report searches commercial driver’s license (CDL) records.
By default, Checkr validates the current license and searches the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) for previous commercial driver's licenses. If Checkr finds additional CDLs for a candidate in CDLIS, Checkr searches the driving history for each CDL.
If your hiring needs differ, you can request a commercial MVR option below:
- Validate current license only.
- Validate current license, search CDLIS, and collect previous licenses if CDLIS results don't meet the minimum required years of commercial driving history.
To order a commercial MVR report, you must have the candidate-provided information below:
- Birth date
- License issuing government
- License number
- Social Security number
MVR data cancellation
If you encounter "Cancellation Reason: Unable to fulfill MVR request as data is not available," it's likely that a commercial MVR was run on someone who does not have a CDL.
State-specific requirements for commercial MVR reports
New Hampshire law requires that employers of commercial drivers complete a New Hampshire certificate of authority. Certificates of authority expire on December 31. Employers must complete a new certificate of authority at the end of each calendar year.
To apply for a New Hampshire Certificate of Authority, use the steps below:
- Open the Certificate of Authority request template.
- Copy the contents of the request template to your company letterhead. New Hampshire requires that your request be on company letterhead.
- Complete the request.
- Print and sign the request.
- Submit the request to the Concord DMV.
- Submit the certificate of authority request to Checkr using our Continuous MVR - State Enrollment Form and store a printed copy.
After the State of New Hampshire approves the request, Checkr enables your account.
