NCIC Code Manual - Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center

2.2 COMPOUND SURNAMES
For compound surnames, the full name including both surnames should be entered. For example:
Subject's Name - Jane Smith-Jones (hyphenated)
NCIC Name - SMITH-JONES, JANE
*Subject's Name - Jane Smith Jones (not hyphenated)
NCIC Name - SMITH JONES, JANE
*Subject's Name - Jose Rodriguez y Gonzalez (Spanish letter Y used as a separator)
**NCIC Name - RODRIGUEZ Y GONZALEZ, JOSE
*Each surname component of the full name MUST be entered individually as a separate alias in a supplemental
record entry to ensure the possibility of a hit should either surname be inquired upon.
**When each surname component is entered individually as an alias, the letter Y should not be entered. Using
the example, the following two aliases would be appended to the base record:
AKA/RODRIGUEZ, JOSE
AKA/GONZALEZ, JOSE
