The car is given away for disposal

NOTE. The process presented is valid for all vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, trailers, etc.

The process of deregistration of a car that has been given away for disposal consists of the following stages:

  • STEP 1. Concluding a transaction

    At this stage, the car is given away to a disposal company, with which the purchase-sale contract or other document is entered into, for destruction. It is very important to make sure that the SDK has already been assigned to the car because it will not be possible to perform the other steps specified below without this code. This code is also recommended to be entered in the purchase-sale contract.

  • STEP 2. Declaration of a change of ownership

    At this stage, the process takes place in the following order:

     

    • First, a disposal company must apply to "Regitra" and submit an acquisition declaration online or at the branch by indicating the data of the sales-purchase contract or other document, the SDK and other required information.
    • Then the person, who gave away the car for destruction, must confirm the transfer of the car. This can also be done online or at the branch.
    • After both parties have performed the above-mentioned actions (after the disposal company has submitted and the person, who gave away the car for destruction, has confirmed the data), the new owner (the disposal company) is provided with a new SDK and it becomes the declared owner of the car. The old SDK is deleted.


    IMPORTANT. Both parties will have to confirm the acquisition and transfer. The disposal company must do this within 5 days of the transaction and the person who gave away the car for destruction within 5 days of the disposal company providing his details.

     

  • STEP 3. Car disposal

    After the disposal company has destroyed the car, it must apply to "Regitra" within 5 working days and submit a declaration of destruction (transfer). The existing SDK of the car is deleted because the vehicle is destroyed.

  • STEP 4. Vehicle deregistration

    After the SDK is deleted, the car is automatically deregistered.

  • Example of a possible situation

    A company registered in Lithuania provides vehicle disposal services. The company was approached by a person who requested the company to destroy the car that reached the end-of-life stage. After the vehicle was given away to the disposal company, the representative of the company first contacted "Regitra" and submitted an acquisition declaration. Then the person who gave away the car for destruction confirmed the transfer.


    Later, the company disposed of the car and within 5 working days the representative of the company submitted to "Regitra" a declaration of destruction (transfer). The SDK of the car has been deleted and the car has been deregistered.
