Are you looking to quickly identify and assess driver-related risk with a motor vehicle record search? Our Driver History product can help you find the details you need with one single affordable search!
The Cost of Motor Vehicle Records Searches
At Tessera, we value transparency. That’s why we want to ensure you have full visibility into what you can expect to pay when requesting a motor vehicle record from each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Each state imposes a “per-search” fee whenever anyone requests a motor vehicle record. In addition to this required state fee, if you partner with us for driver history searches, we’ll include a low, per-search fee as we help you navigate your way through the intricacies of the DMVs.
