Driver History Transactions (KQ/KR)

This section describes how to obtain driver history information by sending a Driver History Query (KQ) to the state of record. Information may be requested either by the driver's license number (OLN) OR the name (NAM), date of birth (DOB), and sex (SEX).

U.S. commercial driver license queries are described in section 26: "Commercial Vehicle Information".

Mexican commercial driver license queries are described in Section 33: "Communicating with Mexico".

Driver History Query / Driver History Response

This section provides an overview and details regarding the Driver History Query by license number or by name/date of birth/sex to a state (KQ), and the corresponding Driver History Response (KR).

Overview

To send a Driver History Query (KQ), enter the License Number, (see "Query by License Number" below), or Name/Date of Birth/Sex (see "Query by Name/DOB/Sex" below). The user may request a photo image as an additional option.

The Operators License Number (OLN) is expected to be alphanumeric, made up of numbers and letters. In some cases, a particular state may issue OLNs with special characters. If this is the case, the OLN may be entered as it is displayed on the license (including those special characters). States issuing licenses with special characters are encouraged to note this in their OLN Helpfile.

Positive Driver's License Responses (KR) may contain information including the driver's name, address, date of birth, description, social security #, license type, restrictions, status, and license number. (See "Driver History Response" in the list below.) A Driver History Response (KR) may include an image if one was requested and is available.

Other possible responses to a query include:

  • NOT ON FILE
  • FILE NOT AVAILABLE
  • TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

Query Requirements

  • All inquiries are in a fixed format.
  • Only a single 2-character state code destination address is allowed per inquiry.
  • The Driver History Query (KQ) format includes an optional image field (IMQ/). When this field is included in the inquiry with a "Y" as a value, the receiver should return an image if one is available.
  • The Driver History Query (KQ) format includes two additional optional fields, a purpose code field (PUR) and an attention field (ATN). When used, these must follow the last required field, and both be present in the given sequence (PUR followed by ATN). These fields may be required by some states before they can release driver history information. The states that require the PUR and ATN fields are AK, AL, AZ, CO, CT, GA, HI, MD, MS, MT, NC, ND, NM, PA, VA, WA and WY.

Query Notes

  • Driver History queries on name may result in multiple hits. Only close matches (i.e., exact match on the last name and DOB) should be returned.
  • Utilize the states help file for additional DMV ORI information.

Query Help

  • To obtain explanatory or supplementary information on a state's driver's license files, a user may send an Administrative Message to xxOLNHELP (where xx = 2-character state code).
  • A user may determine who is providing automated responses to driver history queries and who is a photo sharing participant by sending an Administrative Message to "NLOLNHELP".

More information on help files can be located in Help File Transactions.

Data Codes

Codes used as input and/or output in the driver's license query/response generally match NCIC formats and content. Please refer to Part II of your NCIC Manual for code translation and instruction.

The table below describes the XML tags, legacy prefixes, field sizes, data requirements and a translation of each requirement.

Driver History Responses (KR)

  • Responses to driver history inquiries will vary considerably depending on the responding states.
