At the end of its service life, a vehicle is permanently deregistered. Who must certify that it has been delivered to an Authorized Vehicle Treatment Center for depollution?

Correct answer: The registered owner of the vehicle.

The registered owner must provide proof: the person whose name the vehicle is registered under at the Traffic Office, even if someone else is its regular driver. At the end of its service life, the vehicle must be taken to an Authorized Treatment Center, which removes its pollutants. The center gives the registered owner a certificate of destruction proving that the vehicle was delivered. In the picture, the blue car has arrived at one of these centers.
