What should be entered into the EIS if a vehicle has no license plates?

• A. Enter License Plate
• B. NONE
• C. Enter License Plate Year
• D. Leave Blank

Answer: (B)

When a field has nothing applicable, you should indicate that explicitly rather than leaving it blank. Entering NONE communicates clearly that there is no license plate for this vehicle, so the system and anyone reviewing the record understand that this data point does not exist rather than being missing or awaiting input. Leaving the field empty can be misread as incomplete or missing data, which can trigger audits or errors. Entering a license plate or a plate year would be incorrect because there is no plate to record. The blanket rule is to use NONE for not applicable fields in the EIS to maintain accuracy and auditability.
