Valorcar — Sociedade de Gestão de Veículos em Fim de Vida

The organisation that runs Portugal's network of collection and dismantling centres for end-of-life cars. A dismantler in this network issues a certificado de destruição, on the basis of which IMT deregisters the car.

Where you come across it. Scrapping a car, “old car for scrap” schemes.
Only an authorised dismantler can issue the scrapping document. A car left at an ordinary scrapyard stays registered to its owner.
