Your motor vehicle and drivers license records include information such as your social security, drivers license number, address, phone number and medical or disability information. The DPPA limits access to this information.
Information not protected by the DPPA includes car accidents that take place during a traffic violation and your current driver status - drivers license status. This information is not considered personal information.

- Private Investigators with reasonable cause
- Businesses verifying for Employment Purposes
