Most of our customers order Missouri driving records one at a time or upload a list for batch processing. Some organizations need something different: the data itself, delivered on a schedule and loaded straight into their own systems. Insurers re-rating a book of business, large fleets and the data companies that serve them fall into this group.
We supply bulk Missouri driver data and vehicle data as a quoted service. Every engagement is approved by the State of Missouri and scoped to your permissible purpose, so you receive the fields you are entitled to and nothing more. This article explains what is available, who can receive it and how delivery works.
The two services sound alike but work in opposite directions.
| Batch processing | Bulk data feed | |
|---|---|---|
| Who starts it | You send us a list of drivers or vehicles | We deliver on an agreed schedule |
| What you get | Records for the people or vehicles on your list | A defined data set, either a full file or only what changed |
| Typical use | Quoting, renewals, hiring, periodic driver reviews | Loading or refreshing a database, portfolio analysis, reporting |
| Pricing | Per record | Quoted by fields, volume and frequency |
If you need one record, start with our guide to the Missouri driving record. For one-off vehicle, accident or investigative lookups, our sister service First InfoSource is the better fit. The rest of this article is about bulk.
Bulk files come from the full Missouri driving record held by the Missouri Department of Revenue. You choose how much of it you need:
Pricing follows the fields you take, so a wallet-data file costs less than a full-record file of the same size. We agree the exact fields during quoting.
Every bulk file contains personal information, such as names, addresses and license numbers. That means every buyer needs a permissible purpose under the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA).
The DPPA lists the purposes for which personal information from motor vehicle records may be disclosed (18 U.S.C. § 2721(b)). Missouri permits only some of them (RSMo 32.091). The ones that matter most for bulk data are:
Before any file is delivered, you certify your permissible purpose in writing, the State of Missouri approves the engagement, and you agree to use the data only for that purpose.
If you plan to use the data to decide whether an individual qualifies for employment, insurance or credit, tell us at the quote stage. That use can bring in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which carries its own obligations for both of us.
Bulk files arrive on the schedule that matches how you use them:
We set up a dedicated delivery folder and scheduled export jobs for each engagement. Your systems can collect files over SFTP, with access by SSH key and optionally limited to your IP addresses, or you can download them directly over an encrypted connection.
During setup we also agree the file layout, whether each delivery is a full snapshot or only the changes since the last one, and how you confirm a file arrived complete. If you would rather query records on demand than receive files, the Missouri MVR API covers that.
The DPPA makes any business that resells personal information keep records, for five years, of each entity that received it and the permitted purpose for each disclosure (§ 2721(c)). We keep those records for every file we deliver. In return, our agreement asks you to:
Pricing depends on the fields you take, from wallet data to the full record, plus the volume and how often you receive files. That is why bulk data is quoted rather than listed on our pricing page.
No. Every bulk file contains personal information from the driving record, so every buyer needs a DPPA permissible purpose and the engagement must be approved by the State of Missouri.
No. Federal and Missouri law allow bulk release for marketing, surveys or solicitation only with each person's express consent.
Daily, weekly or monthly, or as a full monthly or annual extract of the entire data set, delivered by SFTP or direct download.
We price by field. Wallet data covers only the license-level details, so it costs less than the full driving record.
Your choice. Some customers want a complete snapshot each time. Others want only what changed since the last delivery, which keeps files small and loads fast.
With batch processing you send us a list and get back records for the people on it. A bulk feed delivers a defined data set to you on a schedule, without a list.
Tell us what you need the data for, roughly how much of it and how often. Contact us for a bulk data quote and we will come back with the options that fit your purpose.
This article is general information about federal and Missouri law, not legal advice. Your own counsel should confirm how these rules apply to your use of the data.
