Alas, your very clear formulation won't be very informative, 
since the registry is accurate even after a denied transfer
(just as occurs with denied transfer of an auto or property
with it doesn't meet those registry requirements - the fact
that you've driving it around doesn't actually make it yours)

Hence, my suggestion to make such a survey more specific with
respect to prioritization of needs-based transfers vs operational 
usefulness of registry data.
