Vehicle deregistration & scrapping in Boksburg
Every vehicle must be registered with your district licensing department — and if it's no longer roadworthy, or you'd like to use it purely as, say, a garden feature, it needs to be formally deregistered instead of just left off the road.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to deregister a scrapped vehicle?
If a vehicle is no longer in working condition — or you'd like to use it purely as, say, a garden feature — it needs to be formally deregistered rather than just left off the road.
What if the new owner never changed the vehicle into their name?
A vehicle can't be deregistered if a new owner failed to do the change of ownership. If that owner can't be traced, an "export — buyer unknown" application is required instead.
Do outstanding fees and fines matter?
Yes. Outstanding licence fees and any fines on the vehicle must be fully settled up to the date of deregistration before we can proceed.
How much does deregistration cost?
R572 (government and RenewGP fees combined), and it takes about 4 days.
