How to Handle Vehicle Scrapping Procedures?
2 Answers
Vehicle scrapping procedures are handled as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and stamp the "Motor Vehicle Alteration, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form". Apply at the registration acceptance counter, where a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit. For vehicles that have not yet reached the scrapping age limit, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner, holding the "Notice", can choose a qualified recycling company to send the vehicle for dismantling. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Alteration Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed after approval according to regulations.
I've handled car scrapping several times, and it doesn't seem that complicated. You need to prepare your original ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driving license – these are all essential. Take the car to the local traffic management department or an authorized scrapping and recycling point, such as the one designated by the vehicle management office. Once there, the staff will inspect the car's condition to confirm it's no longer usable, and then you'll fill out an application form and sign it. After that, they'll issue a scrapping certificate, which you can use to deregister the license plate – and that's it. The whole process might take half a day, but calling ahead can save you from queuing. Some big cities even offer appointment services to save time. After scrapping, don't forget to check the local subsidy policies – some places offer cash compensation. Last time I scrapped an old car, I got a 500-yuan subsidy, which was quite a good deal. The key is not to delay – an old, unused car just takes up space anyway.
