Vehicle removal

If you believe that your vehicle has been removed from any public highway in London or from an estate in Tower Hamlets, please use the TRACE (24 hours service) to identify which vehicle pound your vehicle has been removed to.

When a vehicle has been removed, the required amount on recovery of the vehicle must be paid. On payment, you will be informed of your rights to appeal.

You will need to supply two* of the following documents that identifies you as the owner or hirer of the vehicle:

• The vehicle registration certificate (V5C). The new keepers supplement (V5C/2) will not be accepted as proof of ownership.
• A valid insurance certificate (Not Cover Note) for the vehicle that names the person collecting the vehicle.
• Copy of the lease or hire agreement.
• Utility bill (less than 3 moth old) under the registered keeper’s name
• Driving Licence or Passport

*For persistent evaders we may require further documentation to establish ownership

You will also need to provide proof of identity. Proof of address will be required if not shown on the proof of vehicle ownership.
