This guide will guide you on how to sorn a scrapped car, and you’re not held responsible for the car after disposal. Scrapping or selling your vehicle involves more than just getting rid of it; sorting out the paperwork can feel like a hassle. You must also inform the DVLA the change of ownership to avoid any fines.
The Importance of Informing the DVLA
Whether you’re scrapping your car or transferring ownership, notifying the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is a key step. With over ten years as a DVLA-registered scrap car dealer, we ensure our customers stay compliant with the law. Failing to inform them can lead to potential fines, wrongful enforcement of traffic penalties, and even criminal charges.
How do I let DVLA know I have scrapped my car Online?
You’ll need:
- The vehicle registration number
- The 11-digit reference from your V5C logbook (Section Four if issued after April 2019, Section Nine if before)
- Scrapyard’s name and address
Visit the official page of Notifying DVLA When Scrapping
Just fill out the form, and you’re done-the DVLA will then know your car is scrapped and off the road.

- Mail it to: DVLA, Swansea SA99 1BN.
