Legacy Text Examples - Criminal History Record Information (CHRI/CCH) (IQ/IR, FQ/FR, AQ/AR & CR)

Legacy (DEPRECATED)

Criminal History Legacy Specifications

This section describes the format and provides examples for Criminal History (CHRI) queries using three query types (IQ, FQ, AQ) and the corresponding responses (IR, FR, AR).

Triple I Responses from NCIC (CR) are included at the end of this section.

Identity Query (IQ)

Generally the Identity Query (IQ) will be used to request identity
information on a subject using three different indices: Name, Social
Security Number (SS#) or Miscellaneous Number (MNU).
There are five combinations of the inquireable data elements that
may be sent by the requestor.

Full Record Query (FQ)

A full record query (FQ) is used to retrieve a full record from a
state.

Additional Query (AQ)

An additional query (AQ) is used to request supplemental or other
information not available through the normal IQ or FQ queries.

Query Formats

Specifications for Identity Query (IQ) messages are as follows:

Identity Query (IQ) messages may be sent to up to five 2-character state codes.
Full nine-character destination ORIs will cause rejection of the entire message.
All Identity Queries (IQs) should be answered by an Identity Response (IR) from the destination. However, if a state returns a full record, they may use a Full Record Response (FR).
It is recommended that states leverage the JTF Interstate Criminal History Rapsheet where applicable.
If one uses a format with more than one index (i.e., Name/Date of Birth and Social Security Number or Name/Date of Birth and Miscellaneous Number) the responder should indicate which search element was used to search the file and which one, if any, produced the hit.
Identity Queries (IQs) sent to Canada may only include Name, Date of Birth and Sex.
Race code is optional. However, when used, Nlets recommends that all states use NCIC's standard race codes. Those states who do not use standard race codes should, on incoming Identity Queries (IQs), adjust incoming race codes to match their race codes so that accurate searches are made of their state files.
If one wishes to request CHRI information on a subject and does not have a full date of birth or a Miscellaneous or Social Security Number, the AQ Query message type should be used.
If one of the three indices is available, IQ should always be utilized.

An Identity inquiry (IQ) uses the following data elements:

Entry # Char. Explanation IQ. 2 Message type followed by a period Message Header 13-36 Standard input message header may include control
field and up to 5 addresses. TXT 3 Fixed filed prefix to beginning of message CR,LF,DEL 3 Control characters (optional) PUR/ 4 Prefix to identify purpose code Purpose code 1 Must be A, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, R, S, V or X followed by a period ATN/ 4 Prefix to identify attention field Attention field 30 Name of requester followed by a period NAM/ 4 Prefix to identify name Name Max. 30

Full name; format is last name, comma, space after
comma is optional) first name, space, middle initial or
name, space, suffix (Jr., III, etc.) Followed by a
period. Titles or degrees should not be used as part of
the name.

DOB/ 4 Prefix to identify date of birth Date of Birth 6-8

Date of Birth followed by a period. Express as
mmddyy or ccyymmdd. Complete DOB must be
present. Some states have different requirements.
Check their OLN HELP file for details.

SEX/ 4 Prefix to identify sex Sex 1 Sex followed by a period; conforms to NCIC codes RAC/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify race Race 1 Race code followed by a period, conforms to NCIC
codes SOC/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify Soc. Sec. Number Soc. Sec. # 9 Social Security Number followed by a period MNU/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify miscellaneous number Misc. # 15 Miscellaneous number IMQ/ 4 (For XML use only) Prefix to identify image request
field Image Request 1 Y to request driver photo;
omit IMQ/ field if photo not wanted

Full Record Query (FQ) The purpose of this query is to retrieve a full record from a state. Normally this message will be used after an IQ has been sent and the requester has reviewed the hits and made a selection.

Only a single 2-character state code is allowed as the destination because this is a State Identification (SID) query.
FQs sent to Canada will use the FPS number rather than the SID.
The State Identification Number (SID), Purpose (PUR) and Attention (ATN) fields are always required.
The mailing address fields are optional.
If any one of the fields, except for BLD, is present, all fields must be present (again, except for BLD).
Utilize the Image Flag (IMQ/Binary Request Indicator) to request the images associated with the record.

The format for a Full Record Query (FQ) is as follows.

Entry # Char. Explanation FQ. 2 Message type followed by a period. Message Header 13-25 Standard input message header, may include control
field. TXT 3 Fixed filed prefix to beginning of message. CR,LF,DEL 3 Control characters (optional). PUR/ 4 Prefix to identify purpose code. Purpose code 1 Must be A, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, R, S, V or X. ATN/ 4 Prefix to identify attention field. Attention field Max.30 Attention field, includes name of individual making the
inquiry followed by a period. SID/ 4 Prefix to identify state ID#. SID Number Max. 10 State ID# followed by a period.

The following are optional entries.

Entry # Char. Explanation *DPT/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify department Department Max.30 Department name or # followed by a period BLD/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify building number Building Max.30 Building name or number *ADR/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify address Address Max.30 Address *CIS/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify city and state City & State Max.30 City and State *ZIP/ (optional) 4 Prefix to identify ZIP code ZIP code 5 or 9 ZIP code (allow alpha or numeric) IMQ/ 4 (For XML use only) Prefix to identify image request field Image Request 1 Y to request driver photo; omit IMQ/ field if photo not
wanted

When address is included, these fields are mandatory (BLD is always optional).

Additional Response Query (AQ) The purpose of the AQ is to request supplemental or other information not available through the normal IQ or FQ queries. This may include requests for mailed records, photos, F/P cards, dispositions, special handling of the inquiry, inquiry when only a partial DOB is known, etc.

This message may also be used to request information from a local agency.

This message is a controlled free form message.
There are two required fields: Purpose (PUR) and Attention (ATN).
An AQ may be addressed to multiple 2-character or 9 character ORIs.
When sending an AQ, only one subject per message is allowed.
An AQ should never be used to access criminal record information from a state bureau when adequate data for an IQ or FQ is available.
When using an AQ to see additional information, use person descriptors (i.e., name/sex) with other relevant data (i.e., case#, booking #, SID, MNU), followed by a free text request.
If a mailing response is anticipated, include a complete mailing address.

The format is as follows.

Entry # Char. Explanation AQ. 2 Message type followed by a period. Message Header 13-36 Standard input message header, may include control field
and up to 5 addresses (state or regional codes). TXT 3 Fixed filed prefix to beginning of message. CR,LF,DEL 3 Control characters (optional). PUR/ 4 Prefix to identify purpose code. Purpose code 1 Must be A, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, R, S, V or X ATN/ 4 Prefix to identify attention field. Free text Max.
14,400 No special format used.

Response Formats

This section describes the requirements for message responses.

Identity Response (IR)

All Identity Queries (IQs) should be answered by an Identity Response (IR) from the destination. However, if a state returns a full record, they may use a Full Record Response (FR).
IR formats may include inquiry data received in the IQ.
It is recommended that states leverage the JTF Interstate Criminal History Rapsheet where applicable.
It is anticipated that states will respond with a single or multiple identity segments.
The requestor will then submit a record request using the Full Record Query (FQ) to request the record by SID or FBI number. This is similar to the Triple I application.
To avoid receiving multiple inquiries, a state that does not reply with an automated response should provide an interim message (ideally, computer generated) that will notify the requestor that the response will be delayed until a manual search can be conducted.
The interim message should include the text of the inquiry received.
States should use the sending ORI of "xxSIR0000" (where xx = sending state code) for all IR messages.

Full Record Response (FR)

This message type must be used to respond to all FQ queries.
Full Record response (FR) formats must include all information received in the FQ starting after the TXT to the end of the message.
To avoid receiving multiple inquiries, a state that does not reply with an automated response should provide an interim message (ideally computer generated) that will notify the requester that the response will be delayed until a manual search can be conducted.
The interim message should include the inquiry received.
States should use the sending ORI of xxSIR0000 (where xx = sending state code) for all FR messages.
It is recommended that states leverage the JTF Interstate Criminal History Rapsheet format when applicable.

Additional Response (AR)

This message type should be used to respond to all AQs. AR messages must include, immediately after the TXT, the purpose code and requester that were received in the AQ.
Since this is a response to a non-standard or special request, the format is at the discretion of the sender provided it adheres to basic Nlets rules for message transmission.

Triple I Response (CR)

CR messages will include the letters "III" as the 3rd, 4th and 5th characters in the responder's ORI. The remainder of the format will be at the discretion of the sending state.
It is recommended that states leverage the JTF Interstate Criminal History Rapsheet format when applicable.
CR messages should not be used for responses to CHRI or related requests over Nlets. This is the purpose of the IR, FR and AR message types.
The NCIC header (HDR) must be included in a CR.
