What Documentation Is Required to Scrap a Car in the UK?

To scrap a car with Scrap Local, you need:

Photo ID: A valid photo ID, such as a driving license or passport, is required to verify your identity. If the ID includes your address (e.g., a driving license), no further documentation is needed.

Vehicle Registration Document (V5C): The V5C logbook confirms your ownership. Retain the yellow ‘sell, transfer or part-exchange’ section and notify the DVLA that the vehicle has been scrapped to avoid fines.

Scrap Local ensures a hassle-free process, complying with legal requirements while keeping documentation simple. After your vehicle is processed, you will receive a Certificate of Destruction from the Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF).
