It is necessary that i use FOIL to search for DMV records?
Not necessarily. You could try to submit a form MV-15. That would be a Request for DMV Records.
I see. Is there any difference using one instead the other?
Certainly, there is. As many documents are available in that way, you'll have more possibilities to receive records sooner using MV-15 than filing a FOIL request.
So, you encourage me to always go for this MV-15 first?
Yes, definitely encourage you to do that. Most times, it will save you many troubles and will speed up your requests.
I'll take that in consideration, thanks. Anyway, if i decide to go with FOIL request, is there any fee i have to pay?
Indeed, there is. You'll be charged $10 fee in order to determine if your records are available, but be aware that you paying doesn't mean you'll receive any records at all. So, the fee is not refundable.
Are you going to request any copy of the documents?
No, i don't have any plans to do that.
Is there any condition about the document having personal information?
