Frequently Asked Questions About the Employment Driver History Supply
-
Can this form be electronically signed?
Yes. Electronic signatures are legally enforceable under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) and UETA in most states, provided intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are met. Retain an audit trail showing who signed and when.
-
Do I need a separate consent for each MVR request?
Best practice is to obtain a signed consent that explicitly authorizes the employer to request driving records and states the scope and duration of authorization. Document scope to support vendor requests and adverse-action procedures.
-
What authentication strength is recommended?
Use at minimum an email verification link; for higher-risk roles consider multi-factor authentication or identity proofing. Stronger authentication improves attribution and reduces disputes when records are challenged.
-
How should signed forms be stored securely?
Store signed forms in encrypted repositories with access controls. Platforms typically use TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest; restrict access to HR and safety personnel only.
-
Is a BAA required for processing driver data?
A BAA is required only when protected health information (PHI) is involved and the vendor is a business associate. For purely license and driving-history data, a standard vendor contract and data-processing terms typically suffice.
-
What if an applicant disputes the MVR content?
Follow FCRA procedures for consumer reports: provide the applicant a copy of the report, a summary of rights, and a chance to dispute before taking adverse action. Maintain dated records of notices and communications.
