North Carolina Transportation Notification System

The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles’ (DMV) has developed the North Carolina Transportation Notification System (NC TNS).  This system is designed to provide subscribers with up to the minute detailed information on any licensed driver within the state of North Carolina.  With NC TNS your agency can review driving records for occurrences of convictions, suspensions, disqualifications and points. 

Benefits of NC TNS are:

  • 24/7 access to driver records
  • Reports current driver status conditions directly from the DMV State Automatic Driver License System. (SADLS)
  • DMV Driver Help Desk assistance

Currently, DMV is piloting the system statewide.  You may participate in the pilot at no cost to your agency.  The end of the pilot program has not been determined and participation is voluntary.

To participate in the program you must complete the following steps:

  • Send an email to request on company letter head requesting access to the system to the attention of the NCDOT Security Coordinator.

The email address is:

                Data-control@ncdot.gov

The following questions will need to be answered by the organization once access is granted:

What data is needed?        

Why is the data needed?

How the requestor plans on using the data, be specific, give information as to how the data will be used in your agency’s daily usage?

Requestor must disclose if the data will be re- disclosed or resold.

Requestor must include security protocols that are in place to ensure that the data will be secure.

*Please be very specific and descriptive about how the data will be secured and disposed of as it relates to PII (Personal Identifiable Information). Please provide a copy of your security protocols/ procedures with your request letter. You may send an attachment with your request letter detailing how you secure the data and how the data is disposed of (ie. Public shredding company) or whatever the means may be that you have in place to secure the data weather in the daily usage or disposal of it. Make sure it is clear of the methods that you use and outline line specifically.

Who will have access to DMV data?

How long will the data be retained before disposal?

Once access is granted to the NC TNS, a disclosure form (attached) must be completed for each member and submitted to the same address. This form is an agreement that will be signed by drivers indicating that the driver is aware that you will have access to their driving record during their term of employment with your agency and the access to the record will end with termination of employment.

Additional questions or concerns should be directed to Security Coordinator, NCDOT – Division of Motor Vehicles, 1405 North Church Street, Rocky Mount, NC 27804.  The email address is data-control@ncdot.gov
