About this file
The document is a Vehicle Industry News (VIN) memo from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) regarding public agency vehicle disposal procedures, specifically focusing on the process for disposing of abandoned or valueless vehicles valued at $500 or less. The memo outlines new guidelines for when a Public Agency Authorization to Dispose of a Vehicle (REG 462) form is completed by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), stating that a Verification of Vehicle (REG 31) form is not required in these instances.
The document provides background context explaining that motor vehicles abandoned on highways or public rights-of-way that lack essential operational components are considered hazards to public health and safety. The memo specifies that such vehicles must be disposed of by a licensed dismantler or scrap iron processor, and cannot be reconstructed unless they qualify for Horseless Carriage or Historical Vehicle License Plates. The guidelines reference specific California Vehicle Code sections (§§22669, 22851.2, and 22851.3) and direct readers to follow procedures in the Vehicle Industry Registration Procedures Manual §18.105. For further clarification, the DMV provides a contact number for their Customer Communications Section.

Public Agency Vehicle Disposal on a REG 462
PUBLISHING & ONLINE INFORMATION BRANCH • COMMUNICATION PROGRAMS DIVISION • © 2017 STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Effective: Immediately
New Information
When a Public Agency Authorization to Dispose of a Vehicle Valued at $500 or Less to a
Scrap Iron Processor or Dismantler (REG 462) form completed by the California
Highway Patrol (CHP) is submitted, a Verification of Vehicle (REG 31) form is not required.
These vehicles may not be reconstructed or made operable unless the vehicle qualifies for
Horseless Carriage or Historical Vehicle License Plates.
Procedures
When a peace officer or designated employee of a public agency submits a REG 462 form, the vehicle must be disposed of by a licensed dismantler or scrap iron processor only. A REG 31 is not required if a REG 462 is completed by CHP.
Continue to follow procedures in the Vehicle Industry Registration Procedures Manual
§18.105.
Background
Motor vehicles abandoned on any highway or public right-of-way that lack an engine, transmission, wheels, tires, doors, windshield, or any other part or equipment necessary to operate safely on the highways are a hazard to public health, safety, and welfare, and may be removed immediately upon discovery by a peace officer or designated employee of the state, county, or city. These vehicles may lack a public vehicle identification number (VIN) or engine number and require identification by CHP. A REG 462 completed by CHP that authorizes the disposition of a vehicle is acceptable in lieu of a
REG 31.
Distribution
Notification that this memo is available online at www.dmv.ca.gov under Publications was made via California DMV’s Automated Email Alert System in May 2017.
