Truck scrapping is a necessary procedure when owners want to liquidate, transfer ownership, or if the vehicle is no longer roadworthy. This article provides a detailed guide on the truck scrapping process, along with important notes to help you complete the procedure quickly and according to regulations.
Truck Scrapping Process
The truck scrapping process includes the following basic steps:
1. Prepare the Dossier
The truck scrapping dossier needs to be prepared with all the following documents:
- Original truck registration certificate.
- Technical safety and environmental protection quality inspection certificate for motor vehicles issued by a competent authority.
- Inspection and verification report from the police agency where the vehicle is registered (in case the vehicle is stolen, involved in an accident, or severely damaged).
- Owner’s Identity Card/Citizen Identification Card/Passport.
- Power of attorney (if the owner authorizes another person to perform the procedure).
2. Submit the Dossier
The vehicle owner or authorized person submits the dossier to the vehicle registration agency where the vehicle was registered.
3. Dossier Appraisal
The registration agency will appraise the dossier. If the dossier is valid, the vehicle scrapping procedure will be carried out.
4. Deregistration
After appraising the dossier, the registration agency will carry out the vehicle deregistration procedure and revoke the vehicle’s license plate and registration certificate.
5. Complete the Procedure
The vehicle owner will receive a vehicle deregistration certificate.
