How do I look up my driving record in Michigan?

I’m shopping around for car insurance, and all the quotes I get are insanely high. My friend told me I should look up my driving record to make sure it doesn’t have errors or surprises. How can I look up my driving record if I live in Michigan?

Car insurance rates can fluctuate for a variety of reasons, but checking your driving record is also a smart move. To check your driving record in
Michigan
, you have three options:
  • Go to the Michigan Department of State website. Select More Driver Services, then select Driver’s License and ID Services to request a copy online.
  • If you want a hard copy, head to your nearest Secretary of State (SOS) branch. Just show them your driver’s license and that’s it.
  • Fill out a Record Lookup Request form (found on the Michigan SOS website). After you fill out the form, mail it to: Michigan Department of State, Record Sales Section, 7064 Crowner Drive, Lansing, MI 48918-1502
Keep in mind that each of these will cost $12, so make sure you have cash, a credit card, or a debit card ready.
