Deregistration & Export

When renewal is not the right move.

Quick answer: At COE expiry you have three options: renew the COE (5 or 10 years at the prevailing premium), scrap the car (collect PARF + pro-rated COE rebate), or export it (often pays more than scrap for popular models).

A practical route for Singapore vehicle owners deciding between COE renewal, deregistration, recycling and export. We assess the car, explain the available paths, and handle the paperwork with clear numbers.

What happens after the 10-year COE?

You do not have to renew automatically. The right route depends on the vehicle, its paper value, condition, market demand and the costs of preparing it for its next chapter.

COE Renewal

Renewing keeps the car in Singapore for another 5 or 10 years. Compare the renewal premium with the vehicle's market value and your plans before committing.

Deregistration & Recycling

When the car reaches the end of its useful life, deregistration can release any eligible PARF and COE rebate. The vehicle is then processed by an approved scrapyard and recycled.

Export

Some complete, roadworthy vehicles have demand in overseas markets. Export can keep the whole car in use instead of sending it for recycling.

The Process

A clear path to deregistration or export

1. Tell us about the car

Share the vehicle details. We review the model, age, condition, paper value and current demand.

2. Agree the route and documents

We explain whether deregistration or export is more practical, check the documents, and confirm the next steps before you commit.

3. Handover and deregistration

For a qualifying vehicle, we can coordinate the buy-over, settlement and LTA deregistration. Export vehicles are prepared and shipped as complete cars.
