Selling ​​your car to an authorized RDW dealer

The transfer can take place at an RDW garage, the complete registration certificate must be present:

License plate

Tender certificate

Transfer certificate

When the transfer is completed, the registration certificate becomes invalid and is returned to the seller with the warranty certificate.

Selling your car to an individual

If a vehicle is sold privately, the transfer must take place. In Dutch it's called 'overschrijven'. You can do it at the post office or online. For example at kentekenloket.nl. If the buyer does not have a Dutch passport, Dutch identity card or Dutch driving license, the registration must be placed with the RDW. It is the responsibility of the buyer to obtain the property. They must bring the following documents:

Tender certificate

Transfer certificate

Identification

The buyer immediately receives a warranty certificate to give to the seller, the seller should also ask for the invalid tender certificate in case of future problems.

It is common for the seller not to hand over the registration certificate before he has received the warranty certificate, as this is the only evidence that the owner has changed.
