There are only three exceptions to the general rule that an NCIC hit cannot be overridden when the vehicle's VIN is an exact match to a stolen vehicle VIN. They are described below. In all three exception situations, when a stolen NCIC Record is over-ridden, all comments must be included in the MVD 2.0 Comments Field. The Stolen Flag will not be removed from the NCIC Record.

In every case described below, the requirements listed in Chapter 8, Section S (Duplicate Certificate of Title) also apply.
