USVI driving records: one abstract product, $30 email or pickup delivery, and a $31 mail option

At a glance

How this works in U.S. Virgin Islands

Start by correcting the product framing. The current official territorial sources reviewed here do not describe separate three-year, five-year, certified, employment, or online-self-print record types. They describe an abstract request form, a flat abstract fee on the BMV fee page, and delivery by email, in-person pickup, or mail. The safest public guidance is therefore to treat the driving record as a single abstract product and to keep the authorization rule visible for anyone requesting a record that is not clearly their own.

Checklist

What to have ready

• The current USVI Bureau of Motor Vehicles Abstract Request Form
• Your identifying information for the request form, including name, date of birth, phone number, email address, driver's license number, and mailing address
• Any additional verification documents the form says may be required for email delivery
• Payment for the chosen delivery method: $30 for email or in-person pickup, or $31 for mail delivery
• Proper authorization if the record belongs to someone else

Step by step

How the process usually goes

1. Start by deciding how you want the abstract delivered, because the current BMV form prices the same record differently depending on whether it is emailed, picked up, or mailed.
2. Complete the Abstract Request Form with the driver's identifying information and choose Driver's Record (Abstract) as the request type.
3. If you want the abstract by email, be ready for the possibility that BMV may ask for additional verification documents.
4. If the record is being requested for someone else, confirm the authorization before submitting the request, because the form expressly warns that unauthorized access is prohibited.

One abstract product

The current USVI public sources describe a single abstract request product, not a menu of different driver-record packages

• The BMV fee page lists Verification of Driver's License, described as the abstract, as one $30 product.
• The current BMV forms page links a single Abstract Request Form rather than a family of separate driving-record request forms.
• There is no published menu of certified, non-certified, or lookback-period record tiers.

Delivery choices

The practical USVI distinction is delivery method, not record type

This is where the official form is most specific.

• The current Abstract Request Form lists three delivery methods: mail, email, and in-person pickup.
• The form sets the price at $30 for email, $30 for in-person pickup, and $31 for mail.
• The email option also notes that additional documents for verification may be required.

Official record status

The territory's public materials frame the abstract as the core driver-record verification product

This is the safest way to describe the service without overstating unlisted details.

• The BMV fee page uses the label Verification of Driver's License and ties it directly to the abstract fee.
• The eServicing site says the Bureau maintains and has custody of driver-license records, which fits the abstract-first record system reflected in the fee page and request form.
• Because the current public sources reviewed here do not publish a separate online self-print abstract workflow, don't imply one without a clearer official source.

Access limits

Another person's USVI driving record requires proper authorization and should not be treated like an open lookup

This is the clearest privacy rule on the current public form.

• The Abstract Request Form states that accessing another person's driving record without proper authorization is prohibited by law.
• That warning is the clearest current official consumer-facing signal that second-party abstract requests are controlled disclosures.
• The broader BMV public materials reviewed here do not publish a looser public-access rule that would justify describing the record as an open consumer search.

Common pitfalls

Where people get tripped up

• Don't describe a BMV-DR form, certified-versus-non-certified tiers, or three-year employment-record framing without current official territorial support.
• The strongest current official record sources reviewed here are the abstract fee listing, the forms page, and the 2025 Abstract Request Form. Those sources support a single abstract product with different delivery methods rather than multiple published record types.
• Because the current public BMV materials reviewed here do not clearly advertise a self-service online abstract-order workflow, the safest public guidance is to describe the form-based abstract request process instead of assuming a broader eServicing record portal.
• Another person's record should stay anchored to the form's proper-authorization warning because that is the clearest current public access rule.
