Many owners of old or End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) face situations where the original Registration Certificate has been misplaced, damaged, or lost over time. This is particularly common for vehicles that have remained unused for several years, have changed locations, or belong to families handling inherited vehicles.
At Carbasket Vehicle Scrapping Facility, we understand these situations and assist customers in completing the scrapping process through a transparent verification process.
Important: Vehicle scrapping without an RC is subject to ownership verification and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Acceptance is determined after reviewing the supporting documents and the vehicle's details.

Vehicle scrapping without an original Registration Certificate is not automatic. Carbasket evaluates each case individually. The vehicle owner must establish lawful ownership through acceptable supporting documents, and all applicable legal and regulatory requirements must be satisfied before the vehicle can be accepted for scrapping.
Losing or damaging your Registration Certificate does not necessarily mean your vehicle cannot be scrapped. If you can provide sufficient ownership evidence—such as the original purchase invoice, insurance records, tax receipts, PUC certificate, or a police complaint for a lost RC—Carbasket can assess your case and assist you through the verification process.
Whether your vehicle is old, damaged, non-running, or an End-of-Life Vehicle, Carbasket strives to make the scrapping process transparent, convenient, and environmentally responsible while ensuring that ownership verification and legal compliance remain the highest priorities.
