State-to-State Verification Service

State-to-State Verification Service

The State-to-State (S2S) Verification Service enables DC DMV to electronically verify whether an applicant holds a driver license or identification card in any other participating state. This system includes the Driver History Record (DHR) feature, which ensures that a driver's history is consolidated into a single, comprehensive record. Through DHR, DC DMV can share and receive out-of-state convictions and withdrawals for noncommercial drivers, extending the functionality of the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS).

Implementing the S2S Verification Service decreases processing time and improves the accuracy and completeness of driver history records. This enhancement supports safer driving practices and bolsters public safety in the District of Columbia.

S2S provides the following key features:

  • Maintains compliance with the federal REAL ID Act.
  • Limits a person to one driver license and one DHR.
  • Enables a state to determine whether a person holds a credential in another state.
  • Provide consumers protection from unsafe vehicles.
  • Enables a state to send a request to another state to surrender or invalidate a credential.
  • Reduces fraudulent activity on records.
