What is the minimum data field required for MULES inquiries?

The minimum data field required for MULES inquiries is the combination of name and numeric identifier. This is because MULES relies on a unique numeric identifier to accurately retrieve records. The numeric identifier, which can be a driver’s license number or another form of identification, helps to distinguish individuals with common names, ensuring that the information retrieved is accurate and relevant to the specific individual being inquired about. Using just the name without the numeric identifier could lead to confusion or retrieval of incorrect data, especially when dealing with individuals who may share similar names. Therefore, having both the name and the numeric identifier is essential for conducting effective and precise inquiries within the MULES system.
