Vehicle Registration Certificate

EIREHotspur

I have passed over my old car to a friend to give to a guy he knows who wants parts from it.

What is the procedure for getting the car out of my name?

Should I send the Vehicle Registration Certificate back to the local Car tax office and notify them that the car is scrapped?.

Legally is that me done with it?

To be honest, if they aren't a recognised breaker etc. i'd be sending the log book into their name and letting them worry about it.

i think you have to send an end of life cert in with it if claiming its scrapped so best option is to transfer it to the guy that wants it as if selling the car to him

Log book as in Vehicle Registration Certificate ?
end of life cert ....from what I read....you have to have the car delivered to a specialist scrapping centre that are approved?

Log Book = Vehicle registration cert = Tax book etc. etc.

AFAIK end of life cert is the tax office/garda station.

Well thanks for that lads.

Found this:
You have an old car. It is clapped out and you want to get rid of it. So what do you do?

Firstly, you need to know about new regulations, which came into effect for all end-of-life cars from 1 January 2007. The Regulations introduce an EU Directive aimed at ensuring that old cars are depolluted and dismantled in a manner that doesn't pose a threat to our environment or to human health.


The regulations place obligations on the producers (that is to say vehicle manufacturers/importers), dismantlers/vehicle scrap facilities and you the car owner.

In future, facilities dealing with end-of-life vehicles must meet stringent new environmental standards for the collection, storage and treatment of end-of-life vehicles. These facilities are known as authorised treatment facilities (ATF's).

You should bring your old car to an authorised treatment facility (ATF) which will issue you with a Certificate of Destruction which will confirm that the vehicle is being depolluted and dismantled in an environmentally safe manner.

The facility will then notify the Vehicle Registration Unit of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in Shannon, Co. Clare and the destruction of your vehicle will be noted in the records of the National Vehicle File. The only document you need to give the facility is the Vehicle Registration Certificate (RF101) or the log book for the car.

All intact end-of-life vehicles must be accepted from the owner of the vehicle free of charge. You should only deal with a properly permitted authorised treatment facility when getting rid of your old vehicle as these are the only ones that can issue Certificates of Destruction.

I better get his name and change ownership.
