The issue of Certificates of Destruction in respect of end-of-life vehicles is not a function of my Department. They are issued by authorised treatment facilities as prescribed in article 19 of the Waste Management (End-of-Life Vehicles) Regulations 2006. These Regulations require that a Certificate of Destruction is issued on the deposit of a vehicle, falling within the scope of the Regulations, at the authorised treatment facility concerned. Article 22(1)(a) of these Regulations also requires authorised treatment facilities to notify the National Vehicle Records Office of the Department of Transport of Certificates of Destruction issued.
