Motor Vehicle Record Verification
The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) established the State-to-State (S2S) system to allow states to electronically verify whether an individual holds a driver's license or identification card in any other participating state.
The S2S Verification Service ensures that each driver's history is compiled into a comprehensive Driver History Record (DHR). Through the S2S Verification Service DHR, states can share real-time information on individual drivers, including convictions and license withdrawals.
All states and jurisdictions in the United States participate in S2S, except for California, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Nevada, Oklahoma, Vermont, and West Virginia. New or returning Tennessee residents transferring from these eight states must obtain a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) from their former state. The MVR be issued within 30 days of applying for a Tennessee license or ID.
The S2S Verification Service is crucial in reducing fraud and improving road safety by decreasing processing time and enhancing the accuracy and completeness of driver history records. This improved safety is a vital benefit of the service.
