General Questions

The service includes the pickup of the vehicle with a tow truck at your home (or wherever it is located), the delivery of the Scrapping Certificate, and the cancellation of the license plates at the Public Automobile Register (PRA).
No, in this case a contribution will be requested upon evaluation of the vehicle's condition. When filling out the demolition request, the missing parts must be specified under "car defects" and photographs showing the state of the vehicle must be attached.
Yes, we take care of everything: free home pickup, complete documentation management with issuance of the Scrapping Certificate. The owner, along with the license plates retained at the time of pickup, must personally return them to the authorities in the country of origin to complete the formalities.
Yes, it is possible to demolish a vehicle belonging to a deceased person by the heirs. It is necessary to fill out the Substitute declaration of notoriety for heirs form to be delivered together with the standard documents at the time of pickup.
Yes, it is still possible. In this case, heirs who are not the spouse or children can proceed with the demolition. It is necessary to fill out the Substitute declaration of notoriety for heirs with renunciation form.
The demolition of a vehicle at the PRA by a non-registered owner is possible, but only with well-defined requirements and adequate documentation. Understanding how the scrapping of a non-registered car works is essential to avoid irregularities, administrative penalties, and the continued charging of car tax. Download the form from the documents section (non-registered owner).
It is possible by delivering the documentation issued by the PRA at the time of cancellation.
Yes, it is possible to demolish the vehicle even if the car tax has not been paid for the current year or previous years. It is not mandatory to present it during demolition. Unless an administrative stop has been imposed, any overdue car taxes remain the responsibility of the owner.
The car tax must be paid if the demolition occurs after the payment deadline, i.e., within 30 days of expiry (e.g., expiry December 31, demolishing by January 30). The obligation ceases only with the cancellation of the license plates at the PRA. If the demolition occurs by the last day of the tax period, the car tax is not due.
A car tax refund is generally not available. However, if the car is scrapped before the expiry date, it is possible to request a refund for the unused portion (usually if equal to or greater than 4 months).
The document issued at the time of pickup is generally accepted by insurance companies for the policy transfer.
If parts have been removed from the vehicle (such as doors, headlights, bumpers, etc.), a contribution may be requested, along with photographs and a variable amount between €50.00 and €100.00 depending on the missing parts.

For Private Citizens

As a citizen, you can share it with your Municipality by directing them to this website or providing this email: info@ripuliamolacitta.it.
Yes! The administrative stop release service is designed especially for those who have a high debt and cannot pay it: it is a concrete solution to stop the increase and buy time.

The debt with the State exists regardless, with or without demolition. The real difference is that:
  • Without demolishing, taxes, penalties, and interest will continue to accumulate.
  • With demolition, everything stops and no new taxes accrue.

Through our procedure to release the car from the administrative stop, it is possible to stop the debt from growing, prevent the situation from worsening, and manage everything more calmly (even with a sustainable installment plan).

The release procedure has a fee. The stop does not immediately transfer to a new vehicle, so there is time to organize. Often, the savings from the old car's tax partially or, in some cases, fully covers the amount required for the service.
The pickup takes place within a few days of the request. You will be contacted within 8 hours at 0248401256 for an explanation of the documentation to be delivered for the free demolition.
If the documents required for demolition cannot be found, simply file a loss report and deliver the original document, without requesting duplicates.
Yes, it is possible. Simply file a loss report, specifying whether the plate is front, rear, or both.
Yes, absolutely. Only a few additional documents are required, such as the chamber of commerce certificate and a delegation from the legal representative authorizing the demolition.
If the vehicle does not have a registration document because it was seized by law enforcement, the owner must go to the authority that issued the report and declare the intention to demolish the car, thereby obtaining authorization for demolition, if within the terms, with a discount on the penalty.

For Municipalities

If the abandoned vehicle to be demolished is missing one or both license plates, this must be mentioned in the report authorizing the demolition.
Yes, absolutely. Only a few additional documents are required, such as the mayoral ordinance or council resolution authorizing the demolition of the vehicle registered to the Municipality.
