Vehicles need to be scrapped before account cancellation. The owner of a motor vehicle that meets the scrapping standard cannot sell it without authorization. He needs to go to the motor vehicle recycling enterprise to fill in the Vehicle Scrapping Application Form, and then submit the motor vehicle registration certificate, driving license, and license plate, and then dismantle the vehicle. The motor vehicle recycling enterprise will issue a Certificate of Scrapped Motor Vehicle Recycling.
 The owner needs to carry the above materials, as well as the Scrapped Motor Vehicle Recycling Certificate, to go through the vehicle account cancellation formalities at the vehicle management office. The general staff will complete the audit on the same day. After the audit is passed, the vehicle will complete the account cancellation. If the owner does not write off the scrapped vehicle, it will affect the owner to purchase a new vehicle, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the owner should write off the vehicle in time.
