Car Administration

RDW registration, insurance and road tax paperwork.

Owning a car in the Netherlands means dealing with the RDW (vehicle registration), a compulsory insurance and the road tax (motorrijtuigenbelasting) from the Belastingdienst.

The rules on registration, transfer of ownership (tenaamstelling), APK inspection and importing a vehicle are set by the RDW and depend on the vehicle and your situation.

We explain the procedure that applies to you and help with the forms, the appointment and the letters.
