Process For Claiming Impound Vehicle
The registered owner must present:
- Current, valid registration and tag
- Current, valid insurance
- A valid drivers license or state issued photo ID card
If some of the necessary documents cannot be found, you will be required to obtain new originals from the appropriate agencies. As a rule, we DO NOT release property from any vehicle. The property goes with the vehicle. You must present a valid drivers license in order to drive a vehicle off the lot.
