What does it mean when a motor vehicle's status shows as seized?
1 Answers
When a vehicle is seized, it means the vehicle is in a seized status. A seized vehicle is one that has been prohibited by the court from undergoing registration, modification, transfer, mortgage release, deregistration, or pledge release due to reasons such as economic debt disputes. The methods and duration for querying seized vehicles are as follows: Methods for querying seized vehicles: The vehicle owner can log in to any national public security bureau's motor vehicle inquiry system, enter the license plate number, and if the status column shows "locked," the vehicle is a seized or mortgaged vehicle and cannot undergo transfer or other procedures. Duration for seized vehicles: The People's Court may freeze the bank deposits and other funds of the person subject to enforcement for a period not exceeding six months. The seizure or detention of movable property shall not exceed one year, and the seizure of immovable property or freezing of other property rights shall not exceed two years. Vehicles, being special movable property, shall not be seized or detained for more than two years. If the seizure period expires without an extension procedure, the seizure effect will cease, and the vehicle will be automatically released.
