Can vehicle deregistration be handled by an agent without the car?

Vehicle deregistration can be handled by an agent. The agent needs to provide the original ID card of the vehicle owner, the original ID card of the agent, and the original power of attorney. For non-local personnel, a temporary residence permit must also be provided. Additionally, documents such as the motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle driving license, vehicle license plate, and the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate" are required. More related information is as follows: 1. Vehicle deregistration without the car: Vehicle deregistration without the car refers to the process of deregistering a vehicle when it is stolen and not recovered, or when the vehicle is scrapped in another location and the owner returns to the vehicle's registered location to cancel the motor vehicle records. 2. Notes: If a motor vehicle is damaged in another location due to a traffic accident or other reasons and cannot be scrapped in the location where the license plate is registered, the vehicle owner can first sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. After obtaining the "Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate," the owner can return to the vehicle management office in the registered location to cancel the records.

Yes, vehicle deregistration can be handled by an agent. Last time, I entrusted a friend to take care of it for me. The car had been sold long ago, but the deregistration procedures weren't completed. I only realized it was necessary when buying a new car. I found a reliable agency, and just needed to provide them with a copy of my ID card and a power of attorney. It took about two or three days to complete, saving me the trouble of queuing at the DMV. Make sure to choose a legitimate agency, keep the receipt, and avoid being overcharged. It's best to handle this promptly, as keeping the old vehicle record can affect the registration of your new car.

Last time I helped a relative with a no-car deregistration agency service, it was quite simple. Just bring the original ID card of the vehicle owner and a power of attorney to the agency. They don't even need to see the car and can handle it directly through their internal system. However, be aware of any car loans or traffic violations associated with the vehicle, as these need to be settled first. The agency fee is around 200-300 RMB, which is more cost-effective than doing it yourself, especially since the vehicle management offices are closed on weekends, making it difficult for working professionals to find time. When signing the contract, make sure to read the service details carefully to avoid any hidden charges later on.

No problem with proxy cancellation without the vehicle present. I've seen many people do it this way. The key points are just two: the original ID card of the vehicle owner and a power of attorney. The power of attorney must clearly state the proxy's information and the scope of authorization. After receiving the materials, the vehicle management office will register the cancellation in the system, and the vehicle's presence is completely unnecessary. However, a reminder: if the vehicle still owes vehicle and vessel tax or has fine records, it might get stuck.
