The Master Driver Record (MDR) file identifies each Michigan driver and maintains the history of their driving record. The MDR File is a historical driving record for each individual licensed in Michigan; and for each non-licensed Michigan resident having driving information reported to the Department of State (non-licensed drivers having been involved in accidents and/or convicted of traffic violations). The MDR also contains information regarding out-of-state drivers having Failure to Comply with Court actions related to alcohol involvement.

Driver record information originates from license branch offices, police agencies, courts, other states, internally from within the Department of State, Department of Public Health, and Department of Education.

A driver record includes: Current license application information, convictions for traffic violations, civil infraction determinations, failure to answer court judgments, accidents, and license withdrawal actions or restrictions on driving privileges.
