What is a Certificate of Destruction?
A Certificate of Destruction is an official DVLA document which is issued by a CarTakeBack branch when they recycle your scrap car, using our electronic link to the DVLA's vehicle registration database. The certificate proves that you've disposed of your car correctly and prevents you from being penalised.
You should sign the certificate within the 'Holder/Owner' section, as soon as you receive it and keep it for your records.
