§ 6-116. Notice of change of address or name.

(a)    If any person after applying for or receiving a license moves
from the address named in the application or in the license issued to
him or if the name of a licensee is changed by marriage or court
decree, the person within 30 days thereafter shall notify the depart-
ment in writing of his old and new addresses or of the former and
new names and of the number of any license then held by him. Upon
request of the department, the holder of a license whose name has
changed must submit his license to the department, and the depart-
ment thereafter shall issue to him a new license containing the
changed name. The requirements of this subsection do not apply
with respect to a license which has expired.

(b)    If any person holding a valid license is required to submit
it to the department for the purpose of recording a change of
name or for any other purpose, the department shall issue to him
without charge a temporary license to be valid for not more than 20
days from the date of issuance.

§ 6-117. Records to be kept by the department.

(a)    The department shall maintain a file with respect to every
application for a license which is actually issued and shall maintain
a record of the name of every licensee whose license has been sus-
pended or revoked by the department, and after each name note the
reasons for the action.

(b)    The department shall also file all accident reports and
abstracts of court records of conviction received by it under the laws
of this State and in connection therewith maintain convenient
records or make suitable notations in order that a record of each
licensee showing his convictions and the traffic accidents in which
he has been involved shall be readily ascertainable and available for
the consideration of the department upon any application for renewal
of license and at other suitable times.

(c)    The department may destroy the records of expired licenses
six months after the renewals of the licenses become effective.

(d)    If a charge of violation of this article against any person
shall be dismissed by any court of competent jurisdiction, no record
of the charge and dismissal shall be included in or placed in the
department upon the driving record of the person.

(e)    If a driver's record shows only one suspension and he has
had no subsequent motor vehicle convictions for a period of 5 years,
or if his record shows only one revocation and it resulted from a
violation of the provisions of former section 104(b) of this article,
prior to its amendment by Chapter 677 of 1963, and he has had no
subsequent motor vehicle convictions for 5 years, the driving record
of the driver may be destroyed.

§ 6-118. Licenses of drivers with outstanding warrants not to be
renewed.
