Motor salvage operators

We run a motor salvage operators register for North Somerset.

This does not include scrap metal dealers.

Any business which deals with scrapped vehicles which are no longer roadworthy must be on the register.

It is renewed every three years. For details of how much it costs to be added to the register visit our fees and charges page.

The salvage operator has the responsibility to keep accurate records of each car they deal with including the registration mark, identification number, make, model and colour.

They must also take contact details for the person who supplied the vehicle and keep a copy of proof of their identification.

The police are responsible for enforcement of these regulations.
