Why We Conduct Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) Checks for Applicants

Conducting Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) checks for applicants is part of our commitment to safety, quality, and trust within our community. These checks prioritize safety by assessing an applicant's driving history to ensure they meet our safety standards. Additionally, they verify eligibility, confirming that applicants possess a valid driver's license and a clean driving record, which are essential for membership.
