Response Formats
The format presented below is a suggested guideline for participating states. States may follow this guideline; however, if they cannot, their own formats are permissible.
- States not utilizing the suggested format should make every effort to insure that usage of special codes or abbreviations that would be difficult to understand by other states be kept to a minimum.
- Data elements not available within a state's records may be omitted.
- If the inquiry was processed and there was no information on file, a "no record" message is returned.
- Positive responses should be compressed to eliminate spaces.
Participating states that come up with multiple hits based on a single response are encouraged to utilize abridged or "index" response hits:
- The inquirer could then examine the hit and make a second inquiry on exact registration number.
- If there are too many index records for a single response, the state may send any part of the list.
- The inquirer would then have the option of requesting the remainder of the information or terminating the message.
- Specific state-unique instructions should be provided within the index responses.
