How does the application for new licence plates work?

If you have lost the registration number of your moped, you can apply for new licence plates from a licence plate manufacturer recognised by the RDW. To apply, follow the step-by-step plan below:

  1. Choose from this overview a licence plate manufacturer that is recognised by the RDW. You can recognise an authorised licence plate manufacturer by the RDW accreditation shield and a sticker with the text 'issued licence plates'.
  2. Bring the following documents with you:
    - The original Vehicle Registration Certificate (Part IA) or the registration card. If you also lost the registration certificate, you must first apply for a new one
    - A valid form of identification
  3. Pay the cost of the new licence plate. The licence plate manufacturer is allowed to set the price, so the price may vary from one manufacturer to another
  4. Then you will receive the new licence plates with a duplicate code. The duplicate code is a number on the licence plate. This number indicates how often number plates have been issued for the moped.
