Question

Can you pick up an impounded vehicle if it has expiered plates or do you have to get the plates first?

Answer 1

In California you have to pay any and all fees including registration in order to get a vehicle out of impound

Answer 2

I would say that you would need to have the up-to-date plates to pick it up because I am sure that they would not let it leave the impound yard with expired plates.......................
