What procedures are required for scrapping a family car?

Private car scrapping regulations: For 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and micro vehicles have no usage lifespan limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan restrictions. Private car voluntary scrapping procedure: 1. The car owner applying for scrapping renewal must fill out one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Alteration, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrapping Approval Application Form" and affix the owner's seal. 2. Apply at the registration acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that haven't reached the scrapping age but are verified by the motor vehicle inspection counter as meeting scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notification" will be issued. 3. The owner chooses a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". 4. After verifying the "Notice", the recycling company dismantles the vehicle and takes photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The owner submits the "Alteration Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates are then reclaimed, and the application is submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.

I just scrapped my old car, and the whole process was actually quite simple, but you need to pay attention to the details. First, you need to find a qualified scrapping company, which can be done through online searches or recommendations from friends. Then, gather the necessary documents, such as the vehicle license, a copy of the owner's ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate, all of which must be brought along. On-site, they will inspect the car's condition to ensure it can no longer be driven. After dismantling, they will give you a scrapping certificate, which is crucial for deregistration. At that time, I also went to the DMV to complete the deregistration process, bringing the certificate and my ID, filling out a form, and that was it. Don't forget to handle the insurance—notify the insurance company to cancel the policy, and you might even get some money back. It's advisable to check local policies in advance, as some areas offer environmental subsidies, so you don't miss out. The whole process took about a week, mainly waiting for the certificate. Make sure to choose a legitimate place to avoid shady operations that overcharge and scam people.

If you're planning to scrap your family car, let me share my experience with you. The first step is to contact an officially certified scrapping center—avoid roadside stalls. Prepare your document package: vehicle license, original ID card, and registration information. After the car is towed to the site, workers will dismantle it, so no need to worry about safety risks. Once you receive the recycling certificate, hurry to the DMV to cancel the registration, where you'll need to submit an application form and the original certificate. Don’t forget about the insurance part—canceling the policy can save you money. The whole process can get confusing, so I recommend printing a checklist: bring all required documents, don’t be late for appointments, and clarify subsidy rules to avoid losing money. It’s best to bring a helper along—many hands make light work. The eco-friendly recycling aspect benefits the community by reusing old parts and reducing pollution, which is quite meaningful. Remember to stay patient and avoid rushing to ensure everything goes smoothly.

The scrapping procedure is just a few things. Find a professional company to handle it; they'll take care of the dismantling. You just need to provide your vehicle license and ID card. After dismantling, get the certificate and deregister the vehicle by filling out a form at the DMV. Notify the insurance company to cancel the insurance. That's it, don't delay too long.
