secondary HIN

The list of confidential hull ID numbers is now available through the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).

The NICB database is accessible through ISO ClaimSearch and access is offered to law enforcement free-of-charge.

Law enforcement may request access by contacting NICB's Technical Support Group at 847-544-7003 or emailing technicalsupport@nicb.org .

This is a two step procedure which involves obtaining access to ISO ClaimSearch and then obtaining access to NICB's SVIN database.

To obtain access, it requires the following:
1.An ISO ClaimSearch Law Enforcement Authorization Request form must be completed and returned to NICB.

2.The Law Enforcement agency must include a formal request on letterhead requesting access to the secondary HIN information.

Once this information is provided, NICB will provide a Confidentiality Agreement which is required prior to any agency or users being authorized access to the secondary information.
