At the DMV counter this morning, the clerk pointed to a fresh memo: no more driver address history to licensed PIs without a signed authorization or court order, so I had to scrap a same-day locate and pivot to tax records. Anyone else?
Same here in CA - counter stopped releasing address history unless I bring a signed release or a court order. I’ve been bridging with assessor/recorder transfers and recent voter roll updates; if it’s urgent, I route a subpoena through counsel to DMV and usually get a response in 48 hours.
Ugh, I saw the same fresh memo at the counter this morning and it nuked a same-day locate too. I’m leaning on NCOA via a compliant vendor and pairing assessor/recorder updates with recent UD filings; if there’s a permissible purpose, a recent crash report has been a decent nudge. Are your tax records giving you timely moves or are they lagging a quarter?
Kinda blew up my same-day locate too; I’m pivoting to ALPR hits (DRN) for recent plate sightings and a cheap NMVTIS title pull to confirm state, then I walk the complex. Anyone getting a supervisor to at least confirm a current address match without releasing the history? That tiny nod would speed things up when they’re asking for a signed authorization or court order.
Quick workaround that’s still flying here: bring a prefilled slip with the address you already have and ask the clerk for a yes/no “address on record” verification under DPPA fraud‑prevention — no history, just a stamp. They’ll refuse if you fish, but the match-only check has been fine; you still getting that, @jay19?
