Effective July 1, 2008, the Washington DC Department of Motor vehicles is making two significant changes to the fee structure for obtaining electronic driving records.

The fee will increase from $7.00 to $13.00 per record. This fee is not mandated by new legislation, but instead by a "correction." The driving record fees in DC are $7.00 for a three-year record or $10.00 for a ten-year or complete record. The electronic access fee has been $7.00 per record. However, the DMV has stated it has "discovered an error in our billing system" because it has been dispensing ten-year records online for the price of the three-year record. So the DMV will increase the fee accordingly.  Secondly, the annual fee charged to electronic access requesters will increase from $100 per year to $3,600 per year.
