How long can a background checking company keep the same dmv record and disclose it do they have to update it?

Question

I know that DMVs usually have 5 to 10 year dmv records on request. What about background checking companies? Are the background checking companies allowed to use violations that are no longer on the updated dmv from the dmv?

Answer 1

As a senior member of a background screening company, we do not disclose any violations that do not appear on an updated Motor Vehicle Report.  We require that our clients request a new version of a report for all applicants.  We as a background screening company are required to keep the MVR for a period of 5 years, but a particular report is only utilized once.

Answer 2

No!
