Transferring a moped

Transferring a moped or scooter is important for both the buyer and the seller. The buyer then officially becomes the owner and becomes responsible for fines and damages.

For the seller, it is proof that he is no longer liable. It also updates the vehicle's data in the registry. Thus, everything is clearly arranged.

Don't have a license yet but already have a moped? You can't ride it yet but you can put the moped in your name.

Moped transfer at license plate counter or RDW inspection station

There are several places where you can transfer a moped, such as:

a license plate counter

a PostNL location

an RDW inspection station

an RDW counter

On-site moped transfer step-by-step plan

Follow the 6 steps for transferring a moped locally.

Step 1
Ask the seller of the moped for the necessary documents. Usually you need to bring the original registration certificate and transfer slip or the registration certificate.
Step 2
Bring these documents, along with a valid ID, to the location.
Step 3
Pay the transfer fee of €13.10 (2025).
Step 4
Then the clerk will put the vehicle in your name. You will then receive a registration report. This is written proof of the transaction.
Step 5
You also receive the release certificate. You give the release certificate to the seller.
Step 6
From then on, you are liable for the obligations of a license plate holder. For example, you must take out moped insurance. You are required by law to have at least third-party insurance for your moped.
Step 7

From the RDW you will receive the new license plate card the same business day (if the license plate is transferred before 4 p.m.) or the next business day.

Congratulations!!! You are now the new owner of the moped.

Clearance certificate

When you transfer, the moped's registration number is transferred to the new owner's name. You will then receive a certificate of indemnification. This certificate is for the seller of the moped.

This allows the seller to show that the license plate of the sold moped is no longer in his or her name. Therefore, the seller is no longer responsible for the obligations of a license plate holder.

Moped transfer online

Transferring your moped online is very easy through the RDW website. You do need to install the DigiD app beforehand.
