Policy Number DMV posts the policy number to IIES records by scanning an Insurance ID Card. Policy number is not used in ANY of DMV’s processes. Policy number is included with MVF transactions as an aid for the insurer to identify the insured. Insurers should not send transactions to DMV because of a change in the policy number in their system

Transaction/Record Matching EDI transactions are matched to registration records using the criteria in the H (hit) disposition list below. No other data elements are used. When a transaction finds a record that matches one of the criteria, it does not process through the remaining criteria. H Disposition List 1. VIN and NYS plate number 2. VIN and NYS driver’s license number (CID) or FEIN 3. VIN and 3 of name and DOB (if individual) 4. VIN and 3 of name

Transaction/Record Matching R Disposition A transaction that does not find a record based on the H Disposition matching criteria is sent through exceptions resolution matching process in an attempt to find a matching record. The matching criteria is: 5, 3 and 1 of name, DOB and a single VIN from the registration file that matches the submitted VIN at 70% or greater.
