If you are looking for how to remove a motorcycle from the RUNT, you must complete the cancellation of registration (matrícula) process in Colombia. This procedure is done when the motorcycle will no longer be used or will be permanently taken out of circulation.

The process is managed through the Registro Único Nacional de Tránsito (RUNT) and must be carried out at the corresponding traffic authority office where the vehicle is registered.

📋 What is needed to remove a motorcycle from RUNT?

To complete the process, you generally need:
