The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) inquiry is used to verify that a vehicle is not stolen when a Virginia title is being requested. This process automatically occurs as part of the titling process when a vehicle has not previously been titled in Virginia and is presented with an out-of- state title or a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO).

When the message "NO STOP RECORDED BY NCIC" is displayed the transaction will process requiring no further action. When the message "NO RESPONSE for NCIC" or "NCIC is Out of  Service" is displayed the application will process placing a  "HELD" status of "NCIC" on the record. The title document will not print but the registration card is printed showing registration only.

A successful NCIC inquiry must be completed before the held is released and a title printed.  When the message "Vehicle Stolen Response" is received do not process the title application but notify the proper DMV personnel and/or law enforcement agency.

For more information, see VLIC-134
