Before attempting to request your vehicle records online:

• You will not be mailed an abstract. You must download your vehicle record abstract using Adobe Acrobat Reader onto your computer.
• You will be charged $5.50 for each record. This includes an online convenience fee of 50 cents.
• This application does not provide historical records or certify records for use in court proceedings. If you need a copy of a vehicle record from when you owned the vehicle or a certified record, please complete the MV2896 Vehicle/Driver Record Information Request form and submit along with the appropriate fee to the address listed on the form.

To use this online application you must know the complete vehicle identification number (VIN) of your vehicle. Your request for a copy of your vehicle record is NOT complete until you have submitted payment and receive a confirmation message at the end of the payment transaction.
