Drivers License lookup allows dealerships to verify a California Driver License. This is helpful when a dealership is selling a vehicle and wants to verify the driver of the vehicle.
Dealerships need a Commercial Requester account and DL End User Code supplied to MVSC/DMVdesk prior to running DL Lookups.
1. Navigate to Online Utilities > DL Lookup.
The Drivers License Online Inquiry page appears.
To look up drivers license records or status, follow the steps below.
1. To clear the fields, if needed, click the Reset button.
2. In the Driver license text field, enter the driver license number.
Note: The California DMV only provides information on California driver licenses.
3. In the Last name text field, enter the first three characters of the driver's last name.
4. In the Date of birth text field, select or enter the date of birth.
5. Click the Force New checkbox to ensure that the latest information on the driver license is retrieved. DMVdesk stores previous runs on DL Lookup to avoid duplicate charges.
6. For looking up multiple driver licenses, clicking the Add New Driver link duplicates the fields above.
