Employer Notification Services by State
As of May 2018
Introduction
Motor carriers, do you have drivers licensed in a State that has an Employer Notification Service (ENS)? An
ENS is a program that automatically sends updates to the requestor when a driver’s license status changes, there
is a crash, and-or a conviction is posted to the driver’s record. The use of these services, in particular those with
“push” notifications, satisfies the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) requirement for a
motor carrier to make an inquiry into each driver’s record. As of today, there are 17 States, identified with a red
asterisk (*) in the chart below, that have an ENS system.
Other jurisdictions have programs that provide easy, periodic access to driving records, but do not automatically
send updates (or “push” notifications) on a driver’s license status. A motor carrier using these systems must
still check the driving record annually as required by 391.25. FMCSA has pulled together information on these
jurisdictions for your convenience. The list below provides summary information on the ENS, or other system,
that each of these 19 States use.
The FMCSA will continue to update the below list as new information is received, so please check back
periodically for updates.
