BRB Public Motor Vehicle and Driving Record Search Update

October 02, 2013 posted by Steve Brownstein

Kansas - Driving and Vehicle Records

The fee for electronic access of Kansas motor vehicle records is increasing by $2.10 per record effective October 1, 2013. For interactive processing for driver and vehicle records the fee increase is from $6.60 to $8.70.  For batch processing for driver and vehicle records the fee increase is from $6.00 to $8.10. There is no fee increase for manually processed records, such as requests by mail or in person.  Kansas also offers a monitoring system for employers to monitor commercial drivers. That fee also is increasing from $6.00 to $8.10 per driver.    

The electronic processing of Kansas motor vehicle records is through Kansas.gov, an affiliate of NIC. See www.kansas.gov/subscribers/services.

 
Michigan  - Driving and Vehicle Records

Effective October 1, 2013, the Record Look-up Unit in the Driver and Vehicle Records Division of the Department of State is raising the fee for driver and vehicle records by $1.00. The fee for a non-certified record or an electronic record will increase from $7.00 to $8.00. A certified record will increase from $8.00 to $9.00. The fee also affects those entities participating in the state's notification and monitoring program for employers and insurance companies - an increase from $7.00 to $8.00 when a record is generated.

 
New Release of AAMVA's ACD Code Table

A new release of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators' Code Dictionary Manual, including what is commonly referred to as the ACD Codes, became effective September 1, 2013. The changes include items from Version 5.0.0 released February 1, 2013 and Version 5.1.0 released July 1, 2013. Both 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 are effective September 1, 2013.

The ACD Codes, part of the overall 153-page manual, are used by the states' motor vehicle and licensing agencies to identify, translate, and communicate convictions and reasons for withdrawals. The ACD Codes are an integral part of the communications between the states using the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) and the Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS).

 Nevada District Courts - Fee Decrease     
 
Several fee changes are taking place for Nevada District Court records and also for records held by Nevada county clerks. Effective October 1, 2013 the fee for a record search and the fee for a record copy is lowered from $1.00 to $.50. The change is part of Senate Bill 74. The fees are mentioned on page nine.

Essentially this bill affects records maintained by the District Court (felony, gross misdemeanors, civil actions over $10,000, probate, domestic relations, child support,  guardianships, appeals from Municipal and Justice Courts, etc.) and the County Clerks (marriage and voter registration records, among others). The bill does NOT affect fees at the Justice Courts, Municipal Courts or records held by the County Recorder. Therefore those search and copy fees remain the same.

While the bill and statute refer specifically to the County Clerk and not to the District Clerk or the District Court Administrator, this is merely a point of language. The assumption continually used is that the clerk mentioned is the ex officio Clerk of the District Court.
