MULTIPLE BASE RECORDS

There is the potential that multiple records may exist at the same time for the same person. Upon issuance, the system will check for all issue types
and change any matching records found to match the newest issued number. As this is not a foolproof process, always run a check under any AKA
(Also Known As) you may be aware of. As multiple records may exist, confirm there is a good match by comparing the name, date of birth, and social
security number.

If the same AKA/DLN (driver license number) is listed on the record of two or more different people, the system will retrieve all records. (If you find the
same person listed under two (2) DLNs in the system, please notify Driver Services).

MORE THAN ONE LICENSE POLICY

Section 49-301, Idaho Code prohibits a person from possessing multiple licenses. Exceptions:

 A person may have a driver’s license (DL), a commercial driver’s license (CDL) learners permit (CLP), and/or motorcycle instruction permit.

 A foreign (including Canada and Mexico) non-commercial driver’s license is not surrendered when obtaining an Idaho non-commercial
license. Applicants are advised that they cannot use the foreign license once they have been issued an Idaho license. Always check the Idaho
system when presented with a foreign license to verify that the individual has not been issued an Idaho driver’s license.

PDPS/CDLIS
PDPS– The Problem Driver Pointer System is an on-line national system operated by the National Driver Register (NDR) that directs an
inquiring state to any state(s) where action has been taken on an applicant’s driving privileges. PDPS immediately notifies the state where a
withdrawal has occurred to send the driver’s current status to the inquiring state.

In most cases, the information received from PDPS will eliminate the use of ILETS in the application process. The issuance of a
new/renew/duplicate license cannot be accomplished if there is a withdrawal in any state.

3
 CDLIS – The Commercial Driver’s License Information System operates much like PDPS. It is an on-line “pointer system” and clearinghouse
for information relating to licensing of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. Anyone applying for a CDL (new, renew, or duplicate) in
Idaho is checked on-line through CDLIS before issuance occurs.

CDLIS also allows for the electronic transfer of convictions received by a CDL holder or a non-CDL holder operating a CMV to the current
State of Record (SOR). If a current out of state CDL holder applies for and is issued an Idaho CDL, the current SOR will electronically forward
all information to the new SOR. If part of the information received includes convictions for which the new SOR does not add to a record,
they will not show on the ILETS record.

S2S – The State to State Verification Service System is a means for states to electronically check with all other participating states to
determine if the applicant currently holds a driver license or identification card in another state.

If a current out of state CDL holder applies for and is issued an Idaho CDL, the current SOR will electronically forward all information to Idaho.
If part of the information received includes convictions for which Idaho does not add to a record, they will not show on the ILETS record.

** NOTE FOR BOTH PDPS AND CDLIS – Because Canada and Mexico do not report to PDPS and/or CDLIS, applicants may be required to submit a
driving/clearance record to verify their driver license status. As an option for Canadian applicants, county examiners may run an ILETS check
to Canada to verify the status.

NAME FORMATTING

Driver Services uses specific formatting when entering a name on the driver license (DL) system. This is done in accordance with Idaho Rules, the
American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), PDPS and CDLIS standards.

The following guidelines and examples will assist in finding a name match on the driver license system.
 Only LEGAL names should be entered on the name line of the record.

4
  The maximum number of characters for the name format is 26, including spaces. When possible, names should be entered in their entirety.
If the full name exceeds the allowed 26 characters, enter the last name, the first full name and then the first letter of the middle name until
the entry equals or is less than the 26 characters allowed.
 Spaces are required to separate last, first and middle names. A hyphen, apostrophe and/or a space are the only punctuation marks allowed
as part of a legal last name. A comma is used only to separate last and first name. Applicants (men or women) may use their pre-marriage
surname as their middle name or have it hyphenated as part of the last name.

 Designations such as I, II, III, JR and SR etc., must be entered. They are entered as the middle name or after the middle name as 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
etc.
 Single names are treated as a last name and must be followed by a comma.

To find a record on ILETS by using the name, you must match as much of the full name as possible as it appears in the driver license system. If possible,
always confirm a record found with date of birth, DLN, social security number and address.

A partial name along with the date of birth can be used on the DQ/KQ. If a record is found, the complete name will appear. If a record is found but the
OLT does not show a driver’s license, re-run inquiry using OLN to get the driving record information.

POINT SYSTEM (Also see Table V, pg 17-18)

Convictions
Moving violation convictions are assigned a point value from 1 to 4 points, depending on the violation type, and are entered onto the driver’s record.
Driver Services posts convictions received from Idaho courts, out-of-state courts and Canadian courts.

Point Accumulation
All driving records are continuously evaluated and the department will take the following action on an individual’s driving privileges for the
accumulation of points. As a courtesy, the department will send a warning letter when violation points received are approaching a suspension level.

5
 Number of points: Penalty
8 to 11 in 12 months..………………………………….... Warning letter
12 to 17 in 12 months…………………………………… 30-day suspension
18 to 23 in 24 months……………………………………. 90-day suspension
24 or more in 36 months………………………………… 180-day suspension

Defensive Driving Course (DDC) **

Once every three (3) years a driver may reduce their point accumulation total by three points if they complete an approved defensive driving course
(DDC). The DDC must be completed prior to the suspension effective date to waive the suspension for accumulation of points. Completion of a DDC
does not remove convictions from the driving record. The completion of a DDC will have no effect on any CDL disqualifying action.

Traffic Safety Course (TSC) **

Once every three (3) years a driver may reduce their total point accumulation by completing a city sponsored Traffic Safety Education Course (TSC).
This course must be offered to and accepted by the driver at roadside at the time of citation. Upon completion of the course it will remove the number
of points associated with the citation (1-4 points) from the driver’s record. Not all cities will opt to have such a program and, for those that do, the
course is offered at the discretion of the law enforcement officer at the time of the stop. Completion of a TSC does not remove convictions from the
driving record. The completion of a TSC will have no effect on any CDL disqualifying action.

** NOTE: A DRIVER IS ONLY ALLOWED TO REDUCE THE POINT ACCUMULATION TOTAL ON THEIR RECORD ONE TIME WITHIN A 3-YEAR PERIOD REGARDLESS IF IT IS
FROM A DDC OR A TSC.

CDL ISSUES/DISQUALIFICATIONS

Certain traffic violations received while operating a CMV are considered serious moving violations and can cause a disqualification of CMV privileges in
addition to a withdrawal action for point accumulation. Violations of railroad grade crossing laws will result in disqualification of CMV privileges.
Bond forfeitures and withheld judgments are treated as guilty dispositions if committed by a CDL holder. Major offenses (DUI, ALS, Refusals)
st
committed by a CDL holder in any type of motor vehicle will result in a 1 year loss of CMV privileges for 1 offense and a lifetime loss of CMV privileges
nd
for a 2 offense. (Refer to Chapter 1 of the CDL driving manual for more information on CDL disqualifications and for a complete list of serious
violations.)

DRIVER LICENSE COMPACT (DLC) and NON-RESIDENT VIOLATOR COMPACT (NRVC) (see Table I, pg. 12)

The DLC is an agreement in which many states have entered into regarding the consistent implementation of driving laws. Membership is necessary to
maximize law enforcement efforts against drunk drivers and other serious traffic offenders from state to state.

The DLC allows for the:

 Member states to report convictions on out-of-state drivers to the licensing state.
 State of licensure to take the same action on any violation(s) reported to them by other member states as if the violation(s) occurred in the
state of licensure.
 Authority to deny issuance of a driver’s license if there is a withdrawal in another state(s).

7
The NRVC simplifies the processing of citations issued to out-of-state licensed traffic offenders. The NRVC allows for:
 The withdrawal of a driver’s license, in the state of licensure, for traffic violators who fail to comply with the terms of their citations.
 Non-resident motorists to be released on their own recognizance after the issuance of a citation and may eliminate the need to appear in
court.
 If a non-resident fails to comply with the terms of their citation(s), their driver’s license may be withdrawn by the state of licensure until the
requirements of their citation(s) have been met.

Not all offenses are covered under the NRVC. If the specific violation is not listed under the compact and the driver does not comply with the terms of
the citation, driving privileges may still be suspended in the state where the offense occurred but not the state of licensure.

The Driver License Agreement (DLA) is a new interstate compact written by the Joint Executive Board of the DLC and the NRVC and at some point in the
future will become the primary driver license compact in North America. The purpose of the DLA is to combine and improve the provisions of the DLC
and NRVC and make them more enforceable. The DLA also provides for membership and participation by the Provinces/Territories of Canada and the
States/Federal District of Mexico.

RENEWAL BY MAIL (RBM)

The RBM program allows for valid Class D license holders, 21 to 69 years of age, to renew their license for a 4-year period without making a trip to a
county office. Eligible applicants for RBM will be sent a letter of instructions and of eligibility 60 to 90 days before the expiration of their license. An
applicant renewing by mail will receive a new license via mail that is produced from the digital photo on record. The RBM option is only available every
other 4 year renewal cycle.

NO INSURANCE CONVICTION/SUSPENSION
nd
A first offense for “failure to provide insurance” is an infraction and carries a one-year suspension; a 2 offense in 5 years of this violation is a
st nd
misdemeanor carrying a three-year suspension. The reinstatement fee is the same for 1 , 2 and subsequent convictions for violation of these codes.
The time required to maintain an SR-22 coincides with the length of suspension. Failure to maintain the SR-22 during the required time frame will
result in the suspension being reactivated until the SR-22 and fee requirements are met.

The SR-22 is a document provided by a driver’s insurance carrier. An SR-22 provides proof of financial responsibility and when an SR-22 is issued, the
insurance carrier agrees to notify the department via an SR26 if the policy and coverage has been canceled or terminated.

8
DRIVING RECORDS AND TELETYPE RECORDS
All department records reflect the ordinance degree on driving records, court packet records, and teletype records. The ordinance degree will only
appear if it is reported by the court on a conviction record. This will assist the officer in knowing when to cite for a misdemeanor or an infraction. It is
abbreviated as follows “INFR” infraction, “MISD” misdemeanor, “FLNY” felony. A short example is shown below.

To obtain additional driver’s license information, contact Driver Services via NLETS @ ORI/ID001015V or call (208) 334-8736 or fax a written request to
(208) 334-8739, Monday – Friday, excluding holidays, 0800-1700 MST.

DMV WEBSITE
The DMV has a home page on the Internet where you can access general information regarding Driver Services, Vehicle Services, and Motor Carrier
Services. There are many application and services available on line. You can visit the main DMV website at dmv.idaho.gov.

ADDRESS CHANGES
Please advise drivers and car owners that Idaho law requires their address be updated with the DMV, via written request, within 30 days after moving.
A current address enables drivers to receive information about registration renewals, driver license actions and in the case of an accident gives law
enforcement the ability to locate the next of kin.

DRIVER’S LICENSE RECORDS (DLR)

A DLR is a record of convictions, points assessed, and actions incurred by a motorist while driving in any state. An Idaho driving record covers the most
current three years; however, an all year record is available upon request.

A DLR is available on-line at https://www.accessidaho.org/secure/itd/dlr/interactive/search.html or at some county driver license offices.

A DLR can also be obtained directly from the DMV by submitting a written request. The request must include the full name, driver’s license number,
date of birth, and return mailing address. Requests may be faxed to (208) 334-8739. Faxed requests must include the Visa/Mastercard number and
expiration date. If paying by check or money order, make it payable to the Idaho Transportation Department and mail the request to:

Idaho Transportation Department

Driver Services
PO Box 34
Boise, ID 83731-0034

The cost of a DLR is $7.00. If purchased via the on-line process or with a credit/debit card, a service fee and any applicable bank charges will be applied
to the card transaction. There is no cost if requested by an Idaho government agency.

10
 REINSTATEMENT PROCESS AND FEES
A reinstatement application along with any fees and/or documentation is required whenever the court or the department has taken any withdrawal
action on a driving record. If there are multiple withdrawals, the reinstatement fee owing is the highest single amount; however, if there are multiple
Title 18 Idaho Code offenses, a separate reinstatement fee will be due for each withdrawal. Reinstatement fees can be paid by mailing a check or
money order to the department or paid online with a credit or debit card at https://www.accessidaho.org/secure/itd/reinstatement/index.html.
Fees can also be paid by Visa/MasterCard credit or debit card by calling Driver Services at (208) 334-8736.

NOTE: If fees are paid via the on-line process or by credit/debit card, in addition to the fees listed below, a service fee and any applicable bank
charges will be applied to the card transaction.

The fees are as follows:

$25.00 $85.00 $245.00 $285.00

The Driver License Compact (DLC) and the Non-Resident Violator Compact (NRVC) are no longer being promoted as these agreements will be
superseded by the new Driver License Agreement (DLA). As planned by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), when
the Driver License Agreement is ratified by DLC and NRVC members, the DLC and NRVC will be no longer relevant. The current agreements will
remain in force until total ratification occurs.
