For example, if you have a question about when the customer owned the vehicle with that particular registration. To display registration history information on this screen, you must enter the plate type and registration number. When you enter the required fields and press Enter, this screen gives you the following information: • • • •

Any current and all previous owners who had vehicles with this registration attached. Up to 12 vehiche records for each owner, including the vehilcle identification number (VIN), make, and model, if applicable. A history number displays for each owner that indicates how many of the vehicles listed for an owner now have new registration numbers attached. This number displays in the HI ST# field.

• •

You may transfer a registration number to the RH screen from another screen when you need detailed historical information about that registration. You are also able to transfer the registration number, VIN, or owner name from the RH screen to other screens to obtain additional information. For more information, see the Important Notes and Procedures sections later in this chapter.

If the owner is an individual, the name displays in the following order: last, first, middle initial and/or titles such as Jr., Sr., etc. If the owner is a corporation, this field displays the first 40 characters of the corporation name. When there are multiple owners associated with the registration number, the owners are listed in chronological order. The first owner that displays is the most recent owner of the registration. The last owner that displays is the first, or original, owner. For each owner that is displayed, this field indicates the number of historical vehicles. Historical vehicles are those vehicles that once had this registration number attached, but now have new registration numbers. These vehicles may have a new owner or the same owner; as long as they have new registrations, they are considered historical vehicles. In some cases, the number of historical vehicles does not match the number of vehicles you see listed for an owner. This is because not all vehicles listed for an owner are historical vehicles. One vehicle may currently have the registration attached. Another vehicle may have had the plate removed, but for some reason, may not have

been given a new plate. Only vehicles that are given new registrations are considered historical vehicles. For example, let’s say that there are three owners associated with the registration number you entered: Owners A, B, and C. Here are their stories: Owner A has only one vehicle with this registration and is the current owner of the vehicle. Owner B owned three cars that were all associated with the registration, but sold them. All three cars received new registrations. Owner C owned two cars that were associated with the registration and sold one car, which was given a new registration. Owner C still owns the second car, but cancelled the registration. The following example shows the values that display in the HST# (history number) field for each of these owners: Owner A has no historical vehicles. This means that this owner is the current owner of the vehicle that is associated with the registration number (plate attached). Owner B has three historical vehicles. This indicates that all three vehicles now have new registrations. Owner C has only one historical vehicle, indicating that only one of the two cars was given a new registration. Following are additional situations that effect the vehicle history number: ♦

A database error message may display in the VIN field, indicating that a vehicle record was not located on the database. This vehicle is considered historical and adds to the vehicle number in the HST# field. For more information, see the VIN field description.



If a car is sold and registered in another state, it is not included as a historical vehicle.



If NO VEHICLE displays in the VIN field, the system considers this a historical vehicle. For more information, see the VIN field description.

Vehicle identification numbers are listed in chronological order with the most recent being listed first. Note: Although only 12 vehicles are displayed, there may be more vehicles in the record. You may review additional records on the VT screen. In addition to the vehicle identification number, there are two additional values that can display in the VIN field. These are: ♦ ♦

NO VEHICLE NO VIN

NO VEHICLE indicates that the registration was not associated with a vehicle for a certain period of time. The system counts this period of time as a historical vehicle. The NO VEHICLE line, therefore, adds one vehicle to the number of historical vehicles in the HST # field. NO VIN indicates that the vehicle associated with the registration is a homemade trailer weighing less than 3,000 pounds or a manufactured trailer weighing less than 3,000 pounds with no vehicle identification number. The following database error message may, occasionally, display in this field: LR ERROR - CALL DP. VEHC RECORD MISSING ON DBASE. SURR=XXXXXXXXX. This is a line read error, indicating that there is a vehicle associated with the owner and registration that could not be found on the database. You do not need to take any action; however, note that this record is considered a historical vehicle. It, therefore, adds one vehicle to the number of historical vehicles in the HST# field. YR

The VT Screen

About This Screen Use the Vehicle Title History (VT) screen to inquire about a vehicle’s title history. This screen can help when you need historical title information. For example, you may need to find a title number to research when a vehicle was salvaged. This screen displays a list of all owners associated with a specific vehicle. To display title history on this screen, you must enter the VIN number. Up to four histories are displayed per page. The first two lines of information contain title detail including the title issue date, the title number, the owner’s name and address and the vehicle purchase date. The third line contains registration information including the odometer reading and registration number. You may transfer a VIN number to VT from another screen to display historical title information about that vehicle. You are also able to transfer to another screen where title information is the key field (URI) by positioning the cursor on the title detail lines (first or second line) and pressing F4. To transfer to a screen where the registration number is the key field (RH, UVH, URI) cursor to the registration detail line (the third line) and press F4. The F4 key allows you to cursor select information to be transferred. The screen you are transferring information to determines whether an active or inactive record displays. To transfer current vehicle information to and from the VT screen, use the F6 key. The F 11 key allows you to return to the original page of the scroll if you cursor selected the wrong information. For example, if you were on page two of the VT screen and transferred previous title information to the URI screen, once the information is transferred to the URI screen you can change the function code to VT and press F11. Page two of the VT screen will then display. Note: If you transfer information from VT to another screen and you then want to return to the page of the VT screen you were on earlier, you must use F11. For more information, see the procedure How to Return to the VT Screen.
