It must also contain the license plate number of the vehicle used to haul the scrap metal. The required description of the scrap metal must include the value and a photograph of the scrap metal. Sellers of scrap metal must provide written documentation to the purchaser containing the following information: the name of the person from whom the seller acquired the scrap metal, the date the seller acquired the scrap metal, the address of where the seller acquired the scrap metal, an affirmation or certification that the seller is the owner of the scrap metal, and an affirmation or certification that the seller has not plead guilty or nolo contendre to or been found guilty of theft, burglary or vandalism when the offense involved metal.
