Legacy Text Examples - State Warrant Transactions (SWQ/SWR)
This section provides Legacy formats and examples for State Warrant Transactions (SWQ/SWR).
State warrant Legacy Specifications
Note: Only criminal justice agencies authorized to access criminal records will be
allowed to submit SWQs to Nlets.
The purpose of the SWQ inquiry is to request State Warrant information on a subject.
Records may be requested using any of the following indices;
- Name (NAM) and Date of Birth (DOB)
- FBI Number (FBI)
- Social Security Number (SOC)
- Miscellaneous Number (MNU)
- Operator's License Number (OLN)
Only one set may be used per inquiry. In other words, if an inquiry is made on the social security number, the user cannot include other fields in the inquiry. Sex and Race are optional fields for each query.
Trailing spaces should be eliminated in all data fields.
