    I have an accident from a couple of years ago. I am curious if it shows up on my MVR.
    Thanks

    Your local DMV or DOL should be able to pull it up pretty easy.

    Google search how to get driving record in (insert state)

    It should bring up your state dmv page where you can get your records. At least thats how it worked in Iowa a few years ago when i got mine.

    Is MVR same as the DMV Abstract? I downloaded the abstract and the accident is not there. But insurance companies can see my accident. I am confused.

    I'm not sure if they are the same or not, so I would assume not. Have you asked the insurance company where they are getting information, it's YOUR information so should be available to you.

    Don't know if you have done it or not but I googled my own full name and an address once, it came up with stuff I'd forgotten about.

    They usually come in 3, 5 or 7 year or lifetime. You can get them at the DMV or in my state you can get them online.

    In Virginia, you can get this information online and there is a minimal charge.

    You can also go online to your county courthouse website and look up your public records. If it's not showing up on your MVR records once you get them.

    If you weren't ticketed then it won't be on your driving record but insurance companies have their own internal reports. Call your insurance company and ask for their, "CLUE" report.
