Driving histories are valuable as part of any employment screening process, and can also be used periodically to examine drivers of company-owned vehicles. The applicant's name and driver's license number is needed to conduct this check. The search can be conducted in Connecticut and other states.

The name and location of the educational institution must be provided from an employment application or submitted resume.
