certificado de destruição — certificate of destruction of a vehicle
A document issued by a licensed dismantler through the platform of the APA environment agency when it accepts a vehicle for scrap. The dismantler must give the original to the owner within five working days and send a copy to IMT, which uses it to cancel the registration.
Where you come across it. Scrapping a car; applying for the electric car incentive, where the certificate is attached to the payment request.
A certificate issued in another EU country is also valid here, as long as it contains all the required information. For the electric car incentive, two details on the certificate matter: whose name it is in and when the car was handed in.
