The measure that takes a car off the road

A capture order is the measure that lets SAT de Lima stop a vehicle and hold it in a municipal depot until the tax debt or the traffic tickets behind it are settled. The lookup answers by plate: whether a live order exists, the report date so you can judge how current the verdict is, and, when an order exists, its rows with the fields the source reports. It is worth running before buying a used car, before handing over a rental unit, and before sending a fleet vehicle out around Lima, because the order follows the plate rather than the driver. Coverage is the province of Lima: no order here does not rule out a measure from another municipality elsewhere in Peru.

Common questions

That SAT de Lima can stop the vehicle when it is found on the road and hold it in a depot until the debt behind the order is paid or rescheduled. That is why it is worth checking before buying or renting a vehicle.

No. The verdict covers the province of Lima. A plate with no order here rules out a SAT de Lima capture, not a measure from another municipality or a debt in collection in another province.

No. A capture order is a later step in collection: tickets or taxes can be outstanding without one having been issued. To see what is outstanding, use the SAT de Lima debt lookup.
