Can a vehicle be scrapped without the green title?
2 Answers
A vehicle without the green title cannot be scrapped. If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the owner of the vehicle should apply for a replacement at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. When applying, the vehicle owner must fill out an application form and submit proof of identity. For a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle must also be inspected. The following documents are required for applying for a replacement motor vehicle registration certificate: Application form: Original copy of the 'Motor Vehicle Driving License Application Form'. Proof of identity: Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof. If the vehicle owner is a company, the original and photocopy of the agent's identity proof and the original written authorization from the vehicle owner are also required. Inspection record: Original copy of the 'Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form'.
I also encountered a situation before where I couldn't find the vehicle registration certificate (big green book) for an old car that needed to be scrapped. As an ordinary car owner, I went to the local vehicle management office to inquire. They told me to bring my ID card and the vehicle's engine number information to verify the records. It took two days to reissue the certification document, and then I went to the scrapping center to complete the process smoothly. The whole procedure wasn't too complicated, just an extra trip. The key is to choose official channels and not to trust street advertisements lightly to avoid vehicle information leakage or future troubles. From an environmental perspective, scrapping the car can also reduce emission pollution, and getting it done early saves a lot of hassle.
