Before reclaiming a vehicle at the wrecker company lot, you must get a Vehicle Release Form from the Atlanta Police Department (APD) Property Control Unit located at:
This office is open every day from 8:00am to 8:00pm to process vehicle releases.
In order to receive the Vehicle Release Form from the APD Property Control Unit, you are required to present proof of both your identity and your right to the vehicle as either the owner or the owner’s representative. Georgia Code section 40-11-1 defines the owner as “the registered owner, the owner as recorded on the title, lessor, lessee, security interest holders, and all lienholders as shown on the records of the Department of Revenue or the records from the vehicle's state of registration.”
Vehicles held as evidence or for forfeiture cannot be released until the “hold” is removed by the investigative unit.
