What timeframe and information is included in Colorado driving records?
Colorado MVRs show the last seven years of driving history by default and cannot be limited to less than seven years if available. They include traffic tickets, vehicle-related convictions (including DUIs), license suspensions/revocations, current license status, administrative stops, and points from the state's moving violations system. Lifetime driving records are also available.
What compliance requirements apply to Colorado MVR checks?
Employers must comply with the Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) for information safeguarding, Colorado Senate Bill 14-125 for rideshare drivers, Colorado Privacy Act for data consent and processing, and Colorado House Bill 12-1263 which prohibits excluding applicants based solely on criminal records (including DUI convictions that appear on both MVRs and background checks).
What are the two types of Colorado MVR reports and their differences?
Colorado offers certified and non-certified MVR reports. Non-certified reports are unofficial copies sent by email or mail, while certified reports are court-admissible, state-verified documents sent only by postal mail. Both show the same information including license status, accidents, and violations, but employers typically request certified copies for background checks.
