What paperwork do i need to scrap a car?

If you’re looking to scrap your car for cash in the province of Ontario, you’ll need to gather a few key documents before you can schedule a pick-up with a scrap car removal service. In this article, we’ll outline the required paperwork and service steps needed to legally scrap your vehicle in Toronto or any other municipality in Ontario.

List of Documents:

Bill of Sale

Just like any other used vehicle, a vehicle with a title will also require you to fill out the ownership document and a Used Vehicle Bill of Sale. This document proves that the transactions occurred legally. The Used Vehicle Bill of Sale is meant to provide all the information related to the sale of your vehicle, including important details such as the VIN number and model. Along with these important details, both seller & buyer info should be on this document.

 BILL OF SALE REQUIREMENTS

The bill of sale for the purchase of a used or new vehicle contains the following information:

  • Make, year, and power source for motor vehicles
  • Body type, color, and model
  • Sale/purchase date
  • Sales price
  • VIN
  • Some transfers may require a sworn statement
  • Name and address of the buyer

Safety Standards Certificate

When a vehicle is sold or transferred, and the new owner wants to license it, an SSC certificate must be obtained. The certificate can only be acquired by proving the vehicle meets safety standards set by the manufacturer. You can rely on the Florida Statute which also includes compliance requirements for fire extinguishers, car seats, and other state-specific requirements. Although you might have a used car without this certificate, it is illegal to put license plates on your vehicle without one. Safety Standards Certificates can be obtained from any licensed Ontario automobile dealer for a fee of $30.

Used Vehicle Information Package

When selling a vehicle in Ontario, part of the package includes sending your customer the Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP), which contains information like dates and mileage. Make sure that you package your car in a way that will allow you to legally sell it. This will include important information about the vehicle such as its vehicle identification number (VIN) or license plate number. Other information taken care of in this package is the vehicle’s year, make & model, color, number of cylinders, and power. It also includes retail sales tax details and a bill of sale section. The purchase price includes $35 for UVIP worth its weight in gold by saving you time on tedious busywork throughout your day-to-day business.
