5-07/110.20 - Vehicle License Plate Want/Warrant Information



CWS furnishes information if a license plate number is included in the warrant record.  A want/warrant check on a license plate is not the same as a Stolen Vehicle System (SVS) check on a license plate.

The format for running a license plate is:

  • Unit designation;
  • Want/warrant check; and
  • Vehicle license number.

A want/warrant return on a license plate indicates that there are wants or warrants listed to that plate, the type of warrant and the person named on the warrant.
