Where to Handle Deregistration for Compact Cars?
2 Answers
To deregister a compact car, you need to bring materials such as the vehicle registration certificate and vehicle license to the local vehicle management office to complete the deregistration procedures. Below are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: Vehicle owners must sell their vehicles to a qualified vehicle recycling company before the mandatory scrapping deadline. The recycling company will then submit the scrapped vehicle's registration certificate, license plates, and vehicle license to the traffic management department of the public security authority for deregistration. If the owner fails to complete the deregistration process on time, the traffic management department will publicly declare the vehicle registration certificate, license plates, and vehicle license invalid. 2. Vehicle License: The vehicle license is the legal document permitting the vehicle to operate on roads within China. It consists of a cover, main page, and supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, all sealed in plastic. The supplementary page also contains an endorsed certificate core.
Last time I went to deregister a small car, I chose the vehicle management office near my home. I brought my ID card, driving license, and vehicle registration certificate. The process was quite simple: first, I queued to get a number, then filled out an application form, and the staff checked my documents and the vehicle's status. Before deregistration, make sure there are no outstanding traffic violations, otherwise, it would be a wasted trip. I think if the car is already scrapped or sold to a second-hand dealer, it's better to deregister it early to save trouble. The license plate number can then be released, and in cities with purchase restrictions, it can free up a quota for a new car. The whole process only took me 20 minutes, and going early means fewer people. Also, don't forget to contact the insurance company for a refund after deregistration; you can get some money back for household expenses. Overall, the vehicle management office is the main place to handle this, and doing some homework in advance can speed up the process.
