Request for DOL records
Photo Requests: DOL provides photos in real time to WSP’s ACCESS. The photos may be accessed through the driver query in ACCESS.
If you are unable to obtain a photo from ACCESS, LIU DVI may manually provide driver license and ID card photos to law enforcement agencies for criminal investigations. Due to data security and permissible use requirements, each request goes through layers of review and approval, adding significant time to the process. Your fastest option in cases of imminent threat is the WSP ACCESS option. Requests must include the crime you are investigating and the relevant statutory citation. The portal address to request photos is: https://wadolpublicrecords.nextrequest.com
Other Types of Requests
DVI will consider the following requests submitted through the portal:
- DVI may provide a closed DVI investigation upon request.
- DVI may provide a photo montage (for felony investigations only) along with a requested photo. Please follow the procedure for photo requests.
