NYS DMV LENS Web Page

Homepage
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles welcomes you to our License Event Notification Service (LENS) home page. LENS exists to serve the highway safety needs of the organizations in, and citizens of, New York State. LENS is a data service that gathers information daily from DMV's driver license file, and then reports new information to you. LENS enables you to monitor the New York State license records of employees and volunteers who drive and train drivers on your organization's behalf.
Participation in LENS has many benefits:
  • you can find out if your drivers have valid licenses,
  • you receive automatic notifications of changes to your drivers' records,
  • you can detect driving problems quickly,
  • you can easily obtain a driver's current driving record (known as an abstract, history or MVR),
  • highway safety improves for everyone.

How does it work?
When you enroll in LENS, you choose any or all of the events for which you wish notifications:

  • Accidents (Reportable)
  • Convictions
  • Expirations
  • Point and Insurance Reduction Program Completions
  • Restorations
  • Suspensions and Revocations

LENS first produces a certified MVR for each driver you add. Thereafter, LENS will notify you of new events on your drivers' New York records.
