What should I do if I lose my moped's registration number?
Without a license plate, you are not allowed to ride your moped on public roads. Therefore, if you have lost your moped's license plate or if it has been stolen, you should apply for a new one as soon as possible. Until then, you may not ride your moped. Do you take your moped out on the road anyway? Then you risk a hefty fine. Moreover, without a license plate you cannot get moped insurance, which is mandatory.

I have lost my moped's registration number and registration certificate: what now?
If you have lost both the license plate and the registration certificate, you must first apply for a new one. This is because without a registration certificate, you cannot apply for a new license plate. You can apply for a new registration certificate at the RDW.
