Which queries can TIES agencies in TN use to obtain information about apportioned plates?

TIES agencies in Tennessee can use both the license plate number along with the owner's name, as well as the vehicle title number and VIN, to obtain information about apportioned plates. This is because the system is designed to access various identifiers to accurately retrieve vehicle registration and ownership details. By utilizing multiple queries, TIES maximizes the ability to find the pertinent information needed for specific inquiries, ensuring compliance and effective enforcement of vehicle registration laws.

Using either the license plate number with the owner's name or the vehicle title number with the VIN offers flexibility in how agencies can approach their data retrieval, allowing them to confirm ownership and registration status more efficiently. This comprehensive method enhances the accuracy of the information obtained, ensuring that all necessary avenues for inquiry are available to law enforcement and other TIES participants.
