Question from Online Bar Application:

Please list every state and country in which you were issued a driver's license. Additionally, if you were arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or any serious traffic violation (i.e.; fleeing the scene of an accident, homicide by vehicle, fleeing and eluding police, excessive speed (100+ mph), etc.), but did not hold a driver's license from that state or country, you must list that state or country as well.

Instruction from Online Bar Application:

IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING DRIVING RECORDS: You must provide a driving record for each state from which you ever held a driver’s license, and/or for any state in which you were stopped, arrested, charged, cited, accused or prosecuted for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or any serious traffic violation (e. g., fleeing the scene of an accident, homicide by vehicle, fleeing and eluding police, excessive speed (100+ mph)).

Refer to the Driving Record Repositories list to determine the fee and how to obtain a record. Driving records may be obtained via the Internet provided they are from the state's Department of Motor Vehicles official website. Note: Copies of driving record(s) downloaded from the Internet will be accepted, provided they are a certified or true/attested (official) record from that state's Department of Motor Vehicles web site. Driving records obtained from any other Internet source will not be accepted.

The information on the repository list may have changed since the last update.

For out-of-country records, complete the Personal Verification of Driving Record Information form. You are not required to provide driving records from foreign countries.

If you are a REAPPLICANT and have submitted an original certified or true/attested driving record, WHICH IS DATED WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS of the submission date of this application, and there have been no changes to your driving record, you do not need to provide another record. You must, however, submit an original certified or true/attested driving record for any new state (one that was not provided on a previous application) in which you are licensed.
