What changes with this new regulation?
The Government established the creation of a single digital platform to manage deregistration and dismantling records. This eliminates paper forms, redundant requirements, and unnecessary costs.
According to José Álvarez, president of CaRVA (Chamber of Auto Parts Recovery and Sales), this update is the result of "years of joint management" with the State.
Key points of the new system
End of paper: printed photos and physical forms will no longer be used. Everything will be uploaded to a digital platform.
Simplified registration: only the essentials will be required: make, model, serial number (VIN), and deregistration certificate.
More traceability: non-reusable parts must be destroyed, and the system will allow tracking of each legal component.
Gradual implementation: meanwhile, as the platform is activated, in-person procedures will remain available.
Los puntos clave del nuevo sistema
Will the prices of used spare parts decrease?
According to Álvarez, digitalization will reduce operating costs for legal dismantlers. Currently, operating with physical forms involved an annual expense of $1.4 billion for the sector.
With less bureaucracy and a greater supply of auto parts, they expect spare part prices to decrease and greater legal availability, which would also affect the informal market.
