A full query requires the driver’s specific consent to the release of information in the Clearinghouse to a specific individual or organization at a particular point in time.
A limited query allows an employer to determine if any information about an individual driver exists in the Clearinghouse, but does not provide for the release of any specific violation information in the driver’s Clearinghouse record. Limited queries require only a general driver consent, but employers may obtain a multi-year general consent from the driver for annual query requirement.
