There are 2 types of abstracts that can be requested for 3, 5 or 10 year periods:
Standard Driver Abstract
A Standard Driver Abstract provides information from an individual’s driving record, including:
- driver information (name, address, licence number and issue date, etc.)
- driver’s appearance (height, weight, sex, etc.)
- current status of the drivers licence
- conviction information
- demerit points

The driver abstract does not show the individual’s driving experience or the date first licensed.
Commercial Driver Abstract
A Commercial Driver Abstract allows for employers to assess safety risks associated with a driver prior to hiring them. It provides most of the same information as the Standard Driver Abstract plus information about Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspections.
However, the Commercial Driver Abstract does not include information about the driver’s appearance.
