Yes. You can buy the information through contract sales, pay - per - search and over - the - counter.
Can you tell me more about the contract sales method?
Through contract sales method, DMV sells the information for every two years by an open procurement process. The successful bidders must follow the limitation that comes with the information so that the information will not be misused.
Does motor vehicle manufacturers also use the information shared by DMV?
Yes and it is a good example how the sharing programs play a critical role in improving public safety and make our life more convenient.
What else the benefits of the shared information?
Bus companies could check their bus drivers and confirm their ability to safely drive the school bus. Employers could check their workers records to be aware of anything suspicious that might cause safety problems and there are many more examples on how the shared information benefits our daily life.
Without the shared information, traffic safety and commerce would also be impacted negatively.
I never thought that it can also have impact on commerce.
Could I access the data for DPPA purposes?
Yes you may access it through pay - per - search service for a legitimate DPPA purposes. However, you must also sign an agreement identifying that the purpose is permissible under the DPPA.
