How far back does a Indiana MVR go?

Indiana driver records show the driver’s lifetime history, including commercial license information. The years of history in a report ordered through Evergreen depend on what the state releases for employment checks.

Does the driver have to consent?

Yes. After you pay, the driver gets a private link to enter their details and sign the authorization. The report runs only after the driver authorizes.

Is a Indiana MVR enough for a driver qualification file?

It covers the Indiana part of the record. A driver qualification file also needs records from any other state where the driver held a license in the past 3 years, plus the other documents listed in 49 CFR 391.51. An MVR is not a hiring decision.

Indiana rules employers should know

Indiana assigns 0 to 10 points for each moving-violation conviction, and points stay active on the record for 2 years from the conviction date. Source
Indiana Driver Employer Link (IDEL) is the BMV’s voluntary notification system for employers of Indiana CDL drivers. The BMV says an IDEL record pull does not replace the annual MVR that FMCSA requires. Source
Indiana Code 9-14-13 controls who can get personal information from BMV records. It allows an employer, or its agent or insurer, to verify information about a CDL holder. Source
Indiana’s habitual traffic violator law sets serious penalties, including long suspensions, for drivers who repeatedly commit traffic offenses over a 10-year period. Source

When you need a Indiana MVR

Hiring: within 30 days of a driver’s start date, get an MVR covering the past 3 years from every state where the driver held a license or permit in that time. That includes Indiana even if your company is based somewhere else. 49 CFR 391.23
Every 12 months: get an MVR covering at least the past 12 months from each state where the driver held a CDL or permit during that time, and review it. 49 CFR 391.25
Not sure where else the driver has been licensed? MVR + CDLIS searches the national CDL database for licenses in other states.

Ordering directly from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV)

Employers can mail State Form 53789, Request for Certified Records, citing the exception for verifying a CDL holder’s information. A certified driver record costs $4 and a certified driver history $8; allow 2 to 4 weeks. Source

Drivers who want a copy of their own record should request it from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). Evergreen sells reports to employers only. in.gov
