When your car gets impounded, it is a stressful time for any driver. In order to get your car back, you will need to undergo some processes and show some documents. However, if you do not have your registration, the process can be more challenging than it seems.

In most cases, you will need to bring your vehicle’s registration with you in order to pick it up from an impound lot. This is because the more days the car stays in the impound lot, the higher the fees become. The goal is to retrieve your vehicle as soon as possible in order to avoid these high fees.

The first step in getting your car out of the impound is to call the lot. During this phone call, you will need to verify that your car is in their possession and find out exactly what information you will need to bring with you in order to pick up your vehicle. You will also want to find out what payment options they accept.

If you do not have your vehicle’s registration, it may be possible to contact the legal owner of the car and ask them to sign it over to you. This way, you will be able to use the vehicle until you can get it registered. Alternatively, you can hire an agency that will print a new registration for you. This option is cheaper and easier than obtaining a new one from the DMV.
