Tow Releases

Tow Away Zone Sign

Suspended License

If your license is suspended or you were arrested for OUI (Operating Under the Influence), you must bring two licensed driver’s with you to obtain the Tow Release Form.

Vehicle Registration

If your vehicle was towed for expired or revoked/suspended registration or you had no vehicle registration, you must obtain a valid registration for the vehicle from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles and bring the paperwork with you to the Hanover Police Station. When our dispatchers confirm the registration is active, your vehicle can be released.

Accidents

If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident, please contact your insurance company. They will be able to assist you with the removal of your vehicle.

Authorized Tow

Vehicles can also be removed by authorization through another tow company. The tow company will go to the Hanover Police Station for a Tow Release Form and then will be able to tow the vehicle from the tow company.
