Motor vehicle record — Driver Abstract
Motor vehicle record, often shortened to MVR in a request, is wording that still needs a specific product behind it. Ontario describes separate driver-record and vehicle-record options. The phrase by itself does not establish whether the recipient wants information about a driver, a vehicle or a particular period of history.

Use the term in context
Ask the requester to identify the intended subject, issuing authority and information required. Compare that answer with Ontario's actual product descriptions before selecting an order route. This library does not treat an informal abbreviation as a new government product or assume that the same abbreviation identifies identical records in every jurisdiction.
