New York apostille requirements for driving records


Abstracts of Driving Record are issued by the State of New York Department of Motor Vehicles in Albany. They are signed by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. Both original documents and copies qualify for New York apostilles.
A New York Abstract of Driving Record includes important details such as your full name, date of birth, driver’s license number, license status (valid, suspended, or revoked), and the original date of license issuance. It also shows your current class of license, any endorsements or restrictions, and a complete history of violations, convictions, accidents, suspensions, or revocations on file with the DMV.
Because it provides a full overview of your driving history, foreign authorities often require it with an apostille as proof of your driving qualifications and record of compliance.
Abstracts of Driving Record do not need to be notarized or certified in any way, as the signature of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles is on file with the New York Secretary of State Office. Just send us the original document by mail or a copy by email and we will take care of the apostille process.
If you need an apostille for a copy of your New York Driver License, the process will be different. Additional steps are required to ensure your document meets New York apostille requirements.
Where to get a certified copy eligible for an apostille?
Order your driving record from New York Deartment of Motor Vehicles. There is no difference between a driving record you order online, at an office, or by mail. They are all certified DMV records. They all include a certification statement and the signature of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, as well as the same security watermark.
