State DMVs Are Selling Your Personal Data For A Huge Profit

Your driver’s license does two jobs: prove your identity and generate revenue for the state. The revenue part never reaches you.

 

Every time you renew your license, you’re not just updating your ID — you’re funding a state-run data gold mine.

 

Across America, Departments of Motor Vehicles have quietly turned drivers’ personal information into a cash cow. Your name, address, driving history, and even court records are being packaged, priced, and sold — not by hackers, but by your own government.
