What documents do I need to scrap my car in Hampshire?
The exact paperwork required to scrap a car legally in Hampshire — V5C, ID, proof of address, and what to do if you're missing something.
You need three things to scrap a car in Hampshire without hassle: photo ID, proof of address, and (ideally) the V5C logbook. Missing the V5? Not a blocker — we can still collect, but the process changes slightly. Here's the full list.
The essentials
- Photo ID — UK driving licence or passport (in date)
- Proof of address — utility bill, council tax or bank letter dated in the last 3 months
- V5C logbook — for the DVLA notification (helpful but not essential)
- Keys — nice to have, not required
- MOT certificate — not required, we don't need it
What we do with the V5
You sign section 9 ('sold to a motor trader'), we notify DVLA online and email confirmation. You post section V5C/2 back to DVLA within 7 days — or we can do it for you.
No V5? Read this
See our dedicated guide on scrapping a car without a V5. Photo ID matching the address on the DVLA record is usually enough.
