Law enforcement may impound motor vehicles in a number of circumstances, such as when an individual is found to be driving with a suspended license, or driving while impaired.

When an impoundment takes place, the officer involved will provide the driver with an impound form detailing how long the vehicle will be impounded, where it will be taken and how to apply for early vehicle release. If someone else was driving your vehicle when it was impounded, you will be mailed a copy of this form.

When your impound period expires, you must attend the office of the law enforcement agency that impounded the vehicle to obtain a vehicle release form. This release form cannot be provided prior to the full expiration of the impound period, and must be obtained by a registered owner. 

For additional information, visit the Province of Manitoba's Vehicle Impoundment Registry page.
