If you don’t have a registration certificate, you can still contact the DVLA to let them know your car has been scrapped.

Make sure to give the full details of the scrap yard or recycling center, as well as the car details including registration, make, model, and date of sale.

The DVLA will need this information in order to remove the vehicle from their records and avoid any penalties for unlicensed vehicles.

By law, all scrap yards and recycling centers must be licensed by the Environment Agency, so you can be confident that it will be disposed of safely and responsibly.
