Parent Access to Teen Driving Records

New Jersey law allows parents to review
what is on their minor teen’s (under
18 years of age) driving record or “abstract”
free of charge. A verbal overview may
be provided to a parent toll-free by calling
the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
(MVC) at (888) 486-3339 or by visiting
an MVC
agency. A paper copy may be requested
for a $15 fee. |
| |
|
| |
When
calling or visiting MVC to request this
information, the parent must supply his/her
and the teen’s full names, dates of
birth, home address and driver license numbers.
The MVC agent will advise you of any accidents,
violations, municipal court and/or MVC administrative
actions, as well as privilege status on
the teen’s record. |
| |
|
| |
The
MVC brochure, "How
to Read a Driver History Record Abstract"
will further assist parents in understanding
their teens' driver records. |
