'Lifetime' driving records contain all the license information DMV currently has available about a driver, regardless of the data retention requirements found in Vehicle and Traffic Law. Certain violations will be displayed longer, or permanently. See more about Standard driving records. In many cases, this will be information related to your record for the past few years. 'Standard' driver license abstracts only contain information that DMV is required to keep. They all include a certification statement and the signature of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, as well as the same security watermark.
