The receiving authorised treatment facility issues a Certificate of Destruction when an eligible car, light van or three-wheeled vehicle is completely depolluted or destroyed.
What to do
Keep the certificate with the handover receipt and your DVLA-transfer-notification confirmation. If the vehicle is repaired or resold instead of destroyed, a Certificate of Destruction does not apply.
Legal Context
The ATF uses the CoD service to notify DVLA and permanently close the eligible vehicle record. Blackburn Scrap Yard completes the transfer notification with the registered keeper's consent.
