It depends on the regulations in the specific jurisdiction, but generally, the registered owner will need to be present to retrieve a car from impound. If the registered owner is unable to do so, they can usually designate someone else to pick up the vehicle with proper authorization and identification.

What is the difference between legal and beneficial ownership?

Legal ownership refers to the individual or entity whose name is officially registered on legal documents as the owner of an asset. Beneficial ownership, on the other hand, refers to the individual or entity that enjoys the benefits of owning an asset, even if the legal ownership is held by another party. For example, in a trust, the legal owner is the trustee, while the beneficiary holds the beneficial ownership rights.
