(1) Examiners shall make every effort to obtain complete information on the applicant's past driving experience including experience in other states where the applicant has been licensed.

(2) If the applicant is over 18 years of age and indicates he has not been previously licensed the national driver register (see ARM 23.3.143) must be used.

(3) If an applicant has been under suspension or revocation he should present a letter or card from the motor vehicle division stating that the suspension or revocation period has expired. If the driver has been under revocation or suspension he may be required to file proof of financial responsibility before a temporary license can be issued to him. If in doubt as to whether or not an applicant's period of suspension or revocation has expired, the test may be completed and the result forwarded to the Helena office. A temporary license may not be issued in such cases.
