2 Answers
Bring your ID card and vehicle license to the local vehicle management office to apply. The methods for obtaining a motor vehicle destruction certificate are as follows: 1. If the motor vehicle is destroyed due to natural disasters: The certificate should be issued by a government department at or above the street, township, or town level in the area where the natural disaster occurred; 2. If the motor vehicle is destroyed due to a fire: The certificate should be issued by the fire department of the public security authority at or above the county level in the area where the fire occurred; 3. If the motor vehicle is destroyed due to a traffic accident: The certificate should be issued by the traffic management department of the public security authority at or above the county level in the area where the traffic accident occurred; 4. Motor vehicle destruction refers to the complete loss or disappearance of the vehicle, commonly known as vehicle scrapping. Destruction is different from theft or robbery; destruction means the vehicle has been confirmed as scrapped, destroyed, or disappeared.
I've been riding motorcycles for many years, and once had to go through a lengthy process to obtain a loss certificate after my bike was stolen. Generally, you need to visit the local vehicle management office or traffic police department to get this certificate. The specific process involves bringing original ID, a copy of your household registration, the motorcycle's registration certificate, and other documents, then filling out an application form at the counter. Staff will verify the situation, and you may need to provide a police report receipt if it's a theft-related loss. I remember queuing for over an hour that time, but once you get the certificate, you can proceed with deregistration to avoid potential fines. Looking back, it's best not to delay handling such matters - if the stolen vehicle is used for traffic violations, the responsibility still falls on you. Early action brings peace of mind. Also, don't neglect maintaining detailed records during regular vehicle maintenance, as riding safety should always come first.
