Is it necessary to request a manual check on a vehicle inquired by plate number when a "no record in RTS database" response is received?

In the context of vehicle inquiries through the RTS database, receiving a "no record in RTS database" response indicates that there are no records associated with the plate number entered. This situation can arise for various reasons, such as the vehicle not being registered, being registered in a different jurisdiction, or the information not being updated in the database.

It is not necessary to request a manual check on the vehicle in these situations because there are established protocols for handling such responses. Typically, officials are trained to understand that a "no record" result implies the absence of data in the automated system, and manual checks may not yield different information. Further steps may include verifying the accuracy of the plate number, checking alternative databases, or following specific procedures for cases that need additional investigation, rather than universally opting for a manual check.

Thus, stating that it is "never" necessary to request a manual check aligns with the understanding that the automated system is often sufficient for confirming vehicle registration status unless other investigative protocols instruct otherwise.
