Recycling is one of the ways to get rid of an old car, which also allows you to purchase a new car with an attractive discount through a special program.

Amendments are made annually to the legislation regulating this procedure.

In accordance with Order No. 605 of August 7, 2017, it is necessary to obtain a recycling certificate, which confirms the delivery of the vehicle for recycling and is an agreement between the specialized organization and the owner of the car.

General information about the document

In order to hand over a car under the recycling program, you must obtain a special certificate that confirms the fact of destruction of the vehicle. The form of the document was approved by order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation dated January 14, 2010. Without providing a certificate, the owner participating in the program cannot deregister the vehicle.

Previously, before changes were made to the legislative framework through the entry into force of Order No. 605 “On approval of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the provision of public services for the registration of motor vehicles and trailers for them,” it was enough to indicate in the application the reason for deregistration. After the innovations, it is necessary to attach a certificate of disposal to the application.

Such adjustments to the regulatory framework prevent illegal acts and exclude the possibility of using a vehicle after deregistration due to disposal.

Where to contact

To obtain a vehicle disposal certificate, you must contact a metal collection point or waste recycling center. It should be taken into account that not every organization engaged in such activities can issue a recycling certificate.

In addition, all authorized enterprises operate under the control of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. You can clarify their location directly at the State Traffic Inspectorate office, during deregistration of the vehicle.

Special specialized companies disassemble the car after delivery, since only the metal body is recycled, the interior trim and electronics are removed.

If the owner of the car participates in the Trade-in program (purchase of a new car after disposing of the old one), you should clarify the place where you can receive the certificate directly at the dealership.

Important! When handing over a vehicle for recycling, you should dismantle the state license plates, which will be useful for going through the deregistration procedure.

Registration procedure

As a rule, drivers prefer to recycle their cars by participating in the Trade-in program, according to which they can get a good discount when buying a new car. At the same time, each salon has its own requirements for the vehicle participating in the program.

Often, cars are scrapped due to wear and tear as a result of prolonged use or a serious traffic accident, after which it is not possible to restore the vehicle.

For the driver, the recycling program has many benefits. This is an opportunity to get rid of “cargo” that is not used, takes up a lot of space and for which taxes must be paid annually.

When issuing a certificate confirming the scrapping of a car, it is also worth considering that the certificate is personalized, that is, it belongs to a specific person, namely the owner of the vehicle that participates in the program.

To receive a certificate, you must provide the passport of the owner of the vehicle, STS, PTS.

At the company authorized to dispose of the car, the owner will receive a certificate form, which must be filled out by hand.

Price

If the car was produced before September 1, 2012, the owner is exempt from paying recycling costs if the manufacturer is the payer of the recycling fee. Issuance of documentation and deregistration are carried out free of charge. This provision is regulated by Federal Law No. 89 “On Production and Consumption Waste”.

Before handing over the car for recycling, you must pay transport tax for the entire period during which the car was idle.

Example

A vehicle recycling certificate is an agreement under which one party transfers a vehicle to another for recycling. Includes information about the owner of the vehicle:

• passport details;
• place of registration and residence;
• information about the authorized person if the procedure is carried out without the participation of the owner.

The second block in the certificate indicates information about the disposal point:

• Name;
• location;
• vehicle recycling license data;
• Contact Information.

The last block includes information about the car:

• year of issue;
• make and model;
• registration plate numbers, VIN, body, chassis and engine numbers;
• STS and PTS data.

At the end of the certificate, the parties certify the authenticity of the document with signatures and a seal.

How to deregister a car

After receiving a certificate confirming the disposal of the car, it is necessary to deregister the vehicle. The owner has two options: contact the traffic police in person or send an application through the State Services portal. The procedure is regulated by the Rules “On the Procedure for Registration of Vehicles” dated November 24, 2008.

At the traffic police

The owner of a car that is subject to disposal must contact the State Traffic Inspectorate office at the place of registration.

You can pre-register for some structures on the official traffic police portal. You must have the following package of documents with you:

• Application for deregistration of a vehicle due to processing. It is a standard form. You can fill it out at the department or at home, having previously downloaded it from the traffic police website.
• Certificate of disposal.
• Passport for personal identification.
• State license plates.
• A document that confirms ownership of a car (purchase and sale agreement).
• A power of attorney certified by a notary if the application is submitted by a third party.

All papers and vehicle numbers are also subject to recycling. Registration plates can be deposited with the traffic police for a certain period of time.

Public services

You can deregister a car through the portal of state and municipal services. This method is suitable for citizens who have an account on the site. Allows you to reduce the time spent in queues. The step-by-step procedure is as follows:

1. Authorization on the service using a personal login and password.
2. In your personal account in the Service Catalog, select the “Transport and Driving” category.
3. Next, click on the “Vehicle Registration” section, where you follow the clickable link “Deregistration”.
4. In the new window, select the first reason for contacting – in connection with the disposal of the car.
5. Select the electronic application option and click on the “Get service” button.
6. Fill out an application for vehicle recycling.
7. Choose a convenient time to visit the traffic police department, where you need to come with the original papers.

If PTS and/or STS are lost

Disposal of a vehicle without documents is possible. If the owner of a car has lost or had his PTS, STS or registration plates stolen, he must contact the police department with a corresponding petition, which must be attached to the application and certificate for vehicle recycling. All specified papers will be filed for investigation.

If the car owner wants to avoid additional writing, there is a second option - disposal due to the loss of the vehicle. In this case, there are fewer requirements for the documents submitted.

The program aimed at recycling old cars, developed by the Russian government, is, according to experts, one of the most successful projects in recent years. On the one hand, it promotes sales growth in the domestic automobile industry, and on the other, it reduces the number of used cars on Russian roads. How to obtain a car recycling certificate in 2019, and who can use it, will be the topic of our research.

What is a certificate

The year of launch of the program for exchanging old cars for the opportunity to purchase a new one at a certain discount is considered to be 2010. At that time, alas, there were not many people willing to take part in the project, and therefore it was closed in 2011. The development of the Russian government received new life in 2014, and its implementation, according to experts, will continue quite successfully into 2018.

The essence of the program is as follows: any Russian who owns a car older than 6 years can receive a bonus in the form of a discount when purchasing a new domestically produced vehicle.

To become a participant in the program, you must meet the following conditions:

• the age of the vehicle must exceed 6 years;
• you must have documents for the old car;
• the owner must confirm his ownership of the car;
• the vehicle must be owned for at least one year;
• the car must be registered with the traffic police;
• the vehicle sent for scrap must be fully equipped: dashboard, battery, gearbox, frame, seats, doors, etc.

Within the framework of the developed program, it is stipulated that monetary compensation cannot be provided in cash. In addition, the object of purchase after returning the old car can only be a car from domestic manufacturers or a foreign car produced on the territory of the Russian Federation, and the car owner himself must certainly have Russian citizenship.

On one's own

The possibility of independently scrapping a car while participating in the state program is not excluded. To do this, you need to collect a package of documents:

1. Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation and a copy of this document.
2. Confirmation of deregistration of the vehicle.
3. Certificate of scrapping of the car.

The subtlety of the issue is that in any case, only the car dealer who takes part in the program has the right to deal with the recycling and registration of a new vehicle in accordance with the certificate. That is, a car owner who has collected all the documents and gone through all the formalities cannot contact any car dealership. Therefore, it would not be superfluous to first make sure that the car dealership you have chosen has received a license to carry out all the necessary procedures.

Via dealer

If a car is handed over for recycling with the help of a dealer, then it is he who takes care of all organizational issues. This company will have to prepare all the documents and conclude an agreement with the car owner to issue a discount when purchasing a new car. For this reason, the first thing a car owner needs to do is decide what kind of car he wants to purchase to replace the scrapped vehicle, and which auto center he will cooperate with.

After this, the owner of the vehicle needs to perform the following steps:

1. Issue a power of attorney to the dealer to hand over the old car for scrap.
2. Conclude an agreement with this company that the car is transferred to it for storage and deregistration.
3. Conclude an agreement to purchase a new car.

After this, the car, along with the documents, is handed over to the dealer, and the client receives a vehicle acceptance certificate and a recycling certificate, which will serve as the basis for providing a discount when purchasing a new car. All further nuances, such as delivering the car to a recycling center and deregistering it with the traffic police, are decided by the dealer.

How long is the certificate valid?

The validity period of the vehicle recycling certificate in 2019 is of great importance. And here, to begin with, it should be noted that, despite the fact that the program was extended to 2019, it has a rather limited budget. This means that if it is exhausted before the established period, it will no longer be possible to purchase a car at a discount.

Please note that the disposal procedure looks like this:

1. You enter into all necessary agreements with the dealer.
2. Give him the old vehicle.
3. Choose the car you want to buy.
4. You are waiting for your brand new car if it is not in the showroom at the time of signing the contract.

Please note that your old car will be sent for recycling no earlier than 2 weeks before its replacement arrives. If the model is available, the process will be launched as soon as all the paperwork is completed.

Thus, answering the question of how long a car recycling certificate is valid, we can say with confidence: as long as the program itself is valid within the budget allocated for it.

Is it possible to “write off” a car without a certificate?

The question that sounds quite logical is what to do for those who did not have time or were unable to become participants in the program? Is it possible to dispose of vehicles without a certificate (certificate)? This opportunity existed until July 10, 2017. Any car owner who, for one reason or another, decided to get rid of his old car could turn to private companies that provide services for accepting cars for scrap. In this case, the car owner had to first deregister the vehicle with the traffic police and receive a certificate confirming that the car can be sent for recycling. Often such vehicles were deregistered but not actually disposed of. Therefore the procedure was changed. Currently, a car can be deregistered due to scrapping only after submitting a document (certificate) to the traffic police about its actual scrapping.

The recycling problem especially often concerns legal entities whose activities involve the use of vehicles. Read on to learn how to recycle and obtain a certificate confirming this fact.

What kind of document is this

The process of recycling vehicles ends with the receipt of the appropriate certificate (recycling certificate), which confirms the deregistration and transfer of the vehicle to a specialized company.

The form and procedure for filling out the recycling certificate are regulated from January 2010.

In accordance with the requirements of this legislative act, the certificate must be completed jointly by:

• owner of a motor vehicle. The car owner is obliged to independently indicate personal data and basic characteristics of the vehicle in accordance with the civil passport and;
• registration division of the State Traffic Inspectorate. The certificate must necessarily contain a note indicating that the motor vehicle has been deregistered, as well as the date of the registration action;
• representative of the vehicle recycling point.

The disposal certificate must be completed in block letters or using computer technology.

The document is drawn up in 5 copies, each of which is signed by authorized representatives and certified with seals.

So, the certificate issued after disposal of the car reflects the following data:

1. Information about the owner of the vehicle to be scrapped. Section 1 states:
   • Full name of the car owner;
   • name and details of the document confirming the identity of the car owner (most often a passport is provided, and the details of this document are indicated in the certificate);
   • address of permanent place of registration (registration);
   • contact number;
   • year of purchase of motor vehicles subject to the recycling procedure;
   • information about the authorized person, if the recycling process is not carried out by the car owner, but by his legal representative, who acts on the basis of a written and notarized power of attorney.
2. Recycling point details. The second section states:
   • full name and legal form of the organization engaged in recycling of motor vehicles;
   • address of the organization's location;
   • details of the license that allows you to engage in this type of activity;
   • Contact phone and fax (if available).
3. The next (third) section of the document is devoted to a detailed description of the vehicle. Here you need to specify:
   • year of manufacture of the vehicle;
   • state license plate assigned after registration;
   • make and model of the car;
   • details of the registration certificate and PTS;
   • chassis and engine numbers.
4. The fourth section is devoted to confirming the information specified in the document. Data certification is carried out:
   • signature and seal (if the owner of the car is a legal entity) of the car owner;
   • signature of a representative and seal of the recycling company.
5. The final – fifth section of the document is reserved for filling out in the traffic police. This should indicate:
   • information about deregistration;
   • date and place of the registration action;
   • the signature of the employee who carried out the registration cancellation procedure and the seal of the relevant department of the State Traffic Inspectorate.

Under what conditions is a vehicle sent for scrap?

The main reasons for recycling motor vehicles and obtaining the appropriate certificate are:

• natural wear and tear of a motor vehicle and the impossibility of its restoration;
• delay in re-registration of the car by the new owner after the conclusion or expiration of the leasing agreement;
• participation in the state program for the acquisition of new motor vehicles with the condition of mandatory disposal of movable property owned by the buyer.

The current state program allows you to receive a significant discount if, when purchasing a new vehicle, an outdated vehicle is disposed of.

Every car owner can take part in this program at his own request and if he has a car that meets the requirements.

The amount of the discount provided depends on the type of vehicle, for example, when recycling and purchasing a passenger car, the amount of the state subsidy (discount) is 120,000 rubles.

Documentary support

To obtain a recycling certificate from a specialized company, you must provide:

1. Documents used to verify the identity of the car owner:
   • if the owner of the movable property that is subject to disposal is an individual, then a civil passport is provided;
   • if the owner of the car is a legal entity, then an extract from the register indicating the name and form of the organization - the car owner, a passport of the company representative and a power of attorney issued by the management of the organization to complete the disposal operation of a certain type of vehicle are provided;
   • if the recycling process is carried out by a representative of an individual, then a passport of the representative and a written power of attorney from the owner will also be required. But in this situation, the power of attorney must be certified by a notary.
2. Documents for the car:
   • registration certificate;
   • purchase and sale agreement (provided by legal entities in any situation and by individuals in case of loss of PTS and STS).

What structures are involved

You can obtain a certificate of the vehicle recycling procedure from specialized companies that have a license to engage in this type of activity.

Such companies may be:

• state and work on the basis of the traffic police;
• private.

There is no significant difference between the two types of companies.
You can obtain a list of specialized recycling companies at MREO during a personal visit, by phone or via the Internet.

A car can be deregistered for recycling only at the registration department of the traffic police after submitting the appropriate application, the previously specified documents and handing over the state license plates.

The procedure for recycling a vehicle and obtaining a certificate

So, the procedure for recycling motor vehicles with obtaining a certificate of this procedure is as follows:

1. Preparation of a package of required documents. Both the owner of movable property himself and his legal representative can collect documents. Currently, there are also many organizations providing services to prepare for the disposal procedure, but such assistance is provided on a reimbursable basis and is determined based on the tariffs of the selected company.
2. Selecting a disposal point. The main selection criteria should be such parameters as proximity to the place of residence or work, convenient working hours, availability of a license.
3. Obtaining a disposal certificate based on the documents provided.
4. Deregistration of a vehicle. To carry out this action you must:
   • submit a written application to the registration department of the traffic police with the attached documents specified above. You can submit an application in person at the traffic police department (the document form can be obtained from the inspector, and you can familiarize yourself with the procedure for filling it out at the information stand) or through the government services website. In the latter case, preliminary registration and confirmation of use data is carried out. The application is submitted online;
   • undergoing inspection. If the car can move independently or is deregistered before receiving a recycling certificate, then inspection is a mandatory procedure. During the inspection, the numbers on the units installed on the vehicle are compared with the numbers indicated in the PTS and the registration certificate;
   • handing over documents and license plates to the inspector. To receive documents from an inspector, you must register in advance. You can carry out the operation by phone, on the traffic police website or through the government services portal;
   • upon completion of the registration process, a note indicating deregistration is affixed to the certificate of the disposal procedure. In this case, the surrendered license plates can be disposed of or accepted for storage in order to install them on a new car after its purchase and registration.
5. Transferring the car to a recycling company after drawing up a transfer and acceptance certificate for the vehicle.

Do I need to pay for anything?

In connection with recent changes in current legislation, obtaining a certificate of disposal and deregistration of movable property is carried out without charging a state fee.

Cash will only have to be paid in the following situations:

• when issuing a notarized power of attorney, if the car owner does not have the opportunity to independently carry out the recycling procedure. The cost of drawing up and certification of a document is regulated by the law on notaries, and in 2019 is 2,200 rubles;
• with the assistance of specialized companies in the process of document assembly. The cost of the assistance provided depends on the company’s tariffs, the list of services provided, the complexity of the issue (presence/absence of documents, urgency, etc.);

in case of loss of the title and/or certificate of state registration of the motor vehicle. For the restoration of these documents

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

To ensure that there are fewer used cars left on Russian roads that have reached their end of life and pollute the environment with exhaust gases, the Russian Federation has been implementing a recycling program for old cars for eight years. Participants in this program, having returned their old vehicle, have the opportunity to purchase a new model at a discount. A certificate for car recycling in 2019 gives a car enthusiast the right to become the owner of a modern car, receiving a discount on its payment.

To qualify to purchase a car at a discount, a number of requirements must be met. First of all, a person who wishes to become a participant in the state program must have Russian citizenship. It does not apply to citizens of other countries who own old cars that meet the conditions of the program.

A person who has just purchased a used car and wants to exchange it for a new model will not be able to participate in the program. To do this, you need to own the old car for at least six months. In addition, the vehicle to be returned must be fully equipped with all components and mechanisms in working condition. The state program does not apply to cars damaged in accidents or incomplete.

Only a car owner who is able to document the ownership of the car and provide all the necessary documents can participate in the program.

Quite often, those wishing to participate in the program have a question: is it possible to sell a car scrappage certificate? Such a transaction is impossible, since the certificate is issued in the name of the owner of the car being sold for scrap, and only he can exercise the right to purchase a new car.

How to draw up a document

You can obtain a recycling certificate yourself or with the help of a dealer. The difference will be that the person who decides to scrap the car himself will have to deregister it with the traffic police.

Filling out the certificate
