What is the procedure conducted in case the damaged vehicle or disrupted machinery is not claimed during the impoundment period?

  1. If the vehicle owner does not claim their impounded vehicle within thirty days from the date of impoundment, the relevant authority, such as the secretariat or municipality, will notify the vehicle owner electronically. The notification will also be sent to the emirate or governorate and the General Department of Traffic to take any necessary actions and inform the violator to claim their vehicle.
  2. After two months from the date of impoundment, the secretariat or municipality will notify the vehicle owner or their authorized representative through a text message sent electronically to the registered mobile number in "Absher" platform. The notification will request them to claim the vehicle before the deadline and take the necessary legal action.
  3. Ten days before the end of the impoundment period, the secretariat or municipality will send a text message to the vehicle owner, requesting them to claim their vehicle before taking the necessary legal action.
