Driver Alert Voluntary Driving Record Monitoring Program
Show your company's commitment to highway safety by enrolling in DMV's enhanced Driver Alert program. Driver Alert gives employers the opportunity to customize the information DMV sends related to changes to employees' driving records.
By enrolling in Driver Alert, you can request:
- Immediate alerts of moving violation convictions
- Immediate alerts if drivers accumulate seven adverse points within a calendar year
- Immediate alerts of suspensions, revocations, disqualifications; reckless driving or driving while intoxicated convictions
- The month and day you wish to receive annual risk management driver records - required for companies who employ drivers with commercial driver's licenses (CDL)
Enrolling in Driver Alert is easy. First, employers complete DMV's Information Use Application and provide DMV with a list of drivers. Employers can add or delete drivers as needed. If a driver does not hold a CDL or is not required to hold a CDL as a condition of employment, employers must obtain permission from the employee to receive a copy of his or her driving record.
The fee for the program is $25 for two years. Participants are billed $9 for each driving record that is generated. If none of your employees have convictions, there is no additional charge. When a conviction hits a record, notification is sent to the employer the following day.
Driver Alert is an efficient, cost effective way for your company to ensure that your employees are safe, qualified drivers, and positively promotes your commitment to highway safety. For additional information, download our Driver Alert brochure .
