What does code 21 indicate?

• A. Lost or stolen tag
• B. Stolen vehicle
• C. Clearance check
• D. Complete check

Answer: (A)

Code 21 is about the status of a vehicle’s license plate (tag). It indicates the tag itself has been reported lost or stolen. This matters because you’re not asserting the vehicle is stolen, but rather that the plate accompanying it is missing or unavailable, so you’d verify the tag’s status in the system and proceed accordingly. A stolen vehicle would be a different situation with a different code, and clearance or complete checks refer to broader background or status checks rather than the tag’s specific status. So the interpretation that aligns with the code’s meaning is that the license plate is lost or stolen.
