To retrieve a vehicle from a Las Vegas or Henderson tow yard, you need four core documents: valid government-issued ID, proof of vehicle ownership (title or registration), current insurance card, and tow yard release authorization. If the vehicle is repossessed or impounded for violations, you'll also need notarized forms depending on your situation.

📋 Standard Tow Yard Retrieval (Owner Present):

• Valid photo ID: Driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID (must match vehicle registration)
• Proof of ownership: Vehicle title, current registration card, or DMV registration receipt
• Proof of insurance: Current Nevada auto insurance card (not expired)
• Payment method: Cash, credit card, or cashier's check for towing and storage fees ($200-800 typical)

🚨 Situations Requiring Notarized Documents:

• Non-owner retrieval: Family member, spouse, or friend picking up the vehicle needs notarized VP-136 Power of Attorney
• Repossession release: Lender redemption requires notarized VP-020 Repossession Affidavit
• Title complications: Out-of-state titles or lost titles may require notarized affidavits of ownership
• Business vehicles: Corporate authorization letters must be notarized with proof of signatory authority
• Estate vehicles: Deceased owner situations require notarized executor/administrator authorization

⏰ Timeline Matters: Tow yard storage fees in Spring Valley and surrounding areas typically run $35-50 per day. Missing required notarized documents adds 2-5 days to retrieval, costing $70-250 in avoidable storage fees. Lake Mead Mobile Notary meets you at tow yards throughout Clark County to notarize authorizations on-site, enabling same-day vehicle release.

💡 Pro Tip: Call the tow yard before going. Ask specifically what documents they require for your situation. If notarization is needed, schedule a mobile notary appointment to meet you at the facility, avoiding multiple trips and additional storage costs.
