cancelamento de matrícula

Cancellation of a car's registration with IMT. After this, the car is no longer listed under its owner and IUC is no longer charged on it. If the car is scrapped, it is deregistered on the basis of a certificado de destruição from an authorised dismantler, with no need to go to IMT. In other cases (the car went missing more than six months ago, was sold more than a year ago and never transferred, or is registered abroad), the owner has to go to IMT in person.
