The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that the NDR) contains only a listing of names and related identification, provided by State driver licensing officials, of those "problem drivers" whose driver's licenses have been cancelled, denied, revoked, or suspended or who have been convicted of certain serious traffic violations.

To have the NDR checked to see if you are listed on it, complete the form, have your signature (or your mark as witnessed) notarized, and mail the completed form to the National Driver Register at: 400 7th Street, SW., Room 6124A (NPO-124), Washington, DC 20590-0001. Forms that are not notarized will not be processed.

All mailed NDR record check requests must be notarized to certify the identity of the requester. To get the form notarized you will have to find a notary public also just known as a “notary.” These are individuals who the state has been commissioned by state authorities to administer oaths and affirmations, witness signatures, and perform other duties as permitted by state law. Notaries are most commonly called upon to act as the official, unbiased witness to the identity and signature of the person who comes before the notary for a specific purpose.

Although notaries are technically public officials, most work in private industry. Often, employees of large institutions such as banks, insurance companies, real estate, and law offices are notaries public. Also, many people who work at courthouses are notaries. Notaries are normally permitted by the state to charge a nominal fee to notarize a document.
