Vehicle record — Driver Abstract
A vehicle record is a product about a vehicle rather than an individual driver's licence history. Ontario lists vehicle searches separately from driver-record searches. Its uncertified vehicle-record service also describes limits on personal information, including the absence of the driver's licence number, owner name and personal address.
Meaning in this reference
A vehicle record is a product about a vehicle rather than an individual driver's licence history. Ontario lists vehicle searches separately from driver-record searches. Its uncertified vehicle-record service also describes limits on personal information, including the absence of the driver's licence number, owner name and personal address.
Use the term in context
The word abstract can appear in informal requests about either subject, so first determine whether the requester needs a vehicle document or a driver document. A three-year driver record does not become a vehicle record because the driver uses a particular car. The My Drivers Abstract driver-record checkout is not the route described here for a vehicle search.
