Can a private investigator share DMV driver history information with another PI?

Yes, with proper documentation
No, only authorized persons may access this information
Yes, if the driver consents
No, but it can be shared with law enforcement

The correct answer is: No, only authorized persons may access this information

Access to DMV driver history information is strictly regulated to protect the privacy of individuals. Only certain authorized persons and entities can access this sensitive information for specific purposes as outlined by law. Private investigators, while they can obtain this information under particular conditions, are not allowed to share it with other private investigators unless those individuals also possess the same legal standing or authorization to access such data. Sharing this information without proper authorization would violate privacy laws and regulations set forth under the Driver's Privacy Protection Act and California state law. Thus, it is vital for private investigators to adhere to these limitations to ensure compliance and protect the confidentiality of the data they may acquire. This strict regulation is in place to maintain public trust and confidentiality surrounding sensitive personal information.
