Opening and completing the form through FormsPal is fast and straightforward. The FormsPal online PDF editor lets you view and fill in the document directly in your browser without installing any software. Follow the steps below to get started.
Step 1: Click the orange Get Form button at the top of this page. This opens the form in the FormsPal PDF editor.
Step 2: Review Section 1, the notice header. This section is typically pre-filled by installation law enforcement at the time of impoundment. It includes the notice date, the impoundment date, and the specific installation traffic regulation that was violated. Confirm all dates are accurate before proceeding.
Step 3: Check the Vehicle Identification section. Cross-reference the listed make, model, year, VIN, and license plate number against your vehicle registration documents. If any details appear incorrect, note the discrepancy before responding to the notice, as errors may affect the reclaim process.
Step 4: Select your response option. If you intend to reclaim the vehicle, choose the first option and contact the Installation Law Enforcement Office listed on the form. If you choose to relinquish ownership, complete and sign the Waiver of Interest portion. You must respond within 15 days of the notice date to preserve your ownership rights.
Step 5: Complete the Owner Certification block by signing and dating the form. This certifies your ownership, waives the statute of limitations for property disposal, and confirms whether any liens or encumbrances exist on the vehicle. Print clearly using your full legal name. Lienholders named on the vehicle title may also need to complete this section.
Step 6: Click Done to finalize the form. Download the completed PDF and keep a copy for your records before submitting it to the appropriate installation office. FormsPal does not store personal information entered into forms.
Frequently asked questions
What is DD Form 2507 used for?
The form serves as the official Notice of Vehicle Impoundment for U.S. military installations. Installation law enforcement issues it to formally notify vehicle owners that their vehicle has been towed for a traffic violation. It outlines the two response options available and the 15-day deadline for acting on them.
Who fills out the form?
Installation law enforcement personnel complete the notice and vehicle identification sections at the time of impoundment. The vehicle owner then receives the notice and fills in the response section to either reclaim the vehicle or sign the waiver of interest. Both parties sign the completed form.
What happens if I do not respond within 15 days?
If the owner does not contact the Installation Law Enforcement Office or sign the waiver within 15 days of the notice date, the installation may begin disposal proceedings for the vehicle under Department of Defense property management regulations and applicable federal rules. Acting promptly is essential.
Can I contest the impoundment?
Yes. Vehicle owners who believe their vehicle was impounded in error should contact the Installation Law Enforcement Office as soon as possible. Doing so promptly prevents the 15-day deadline from expiring while the dispute is being resolved. Bring your vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and a valid government-issued ID when you visit the office.
Are there fees to reclaim an impounded vehicle?
Towing and daily storage fees typically apply when reclaiming an impounded vehicle from a military installation. The specific fee schedule varies by installation. Contact the Installation Law Enforcement Office for the current fee amounts and accepted payment methods before arriving to pick up the vehicle.
