This driving record information is for the last 36 months.

2. Vehicle Registration Record - If you do not have this document already, you will need to get a replacement, so that you can register your vehicles in your new state of residency.

3. Drivers License Application - This document may be needed if you have renewed your driver's license in the last 2 years. A driving records' issue date, is the date you last renewed your license. The driver's license application is a copy of previous renewed applications for up to 7 years.

4. Calling your new state or country of residency, to see what is required, will save your time, money and inconvenience.
