Vehicle Deregistration
Vehicle deregistration is removing a car from the official register, temporarily or permanently, so it no longer needs tax or insurance.
What is Vehicle Deregistration?
Temporary deregistration suits cars stored for a long time. Permanent deregistration follows scrapping or export. Number plates are usually returned or cancelled. Keep the deregistration confirmation; it proves when your liability ended.
How it works
The registration authority records that the car is no longer allowed on public roads.
Why it matters for your car
A deregistered car must not be driven or parked on public roads. Re-registering may require a new inspection.
