Apply for new license plate

Registration card
If the owner/holder no longer has the registration certificate, a new registration card must be requested from RDW . The RDW will then send a new registration card and a new registration code to the owner/applicant. The registration card will have the same registration number but a different document number.
The cost for this is € 31.50.

Registration code
If the owner/holder still has the registration card but no longer has the registration code, he can request a new registration code via the RDW website.
The RDW will then send the code to the address of the registered owner/holder. The cost for this is (expected to be) € 20.00.

Apply for an urgent registration card
If the owner/holder no longer has the registration certificate and/or the registration code but needs a replacement registration certificate, a new registration code or both on the same day, he can opt for an urgent request. The cost of an urgent delivery of a registration card with registration code is
€ 200,00. Incidentally, no money will be refunded if the old registration card and/or code is later recovered.

Missing or stolen license plates

If one or two license plates are missing, you no longer need to apply for a replacement license plate. You can then purchase new license plates from a registration plate manufacturer recognized by the RDW. When doing so, you (or someone on your behalf) must show the original Vehicle Registration Certificate (Part 1A) and a valid identification document. If there are two license plates on the vehicle, two new license plates will also be issued, even if only one license plate is missing. The license plate manufacturer presses the license plates with a raised duplicate code. The license plate manufacturer also records issuing new license plates because the old ones have gone missing.
If your license plate is lost or stolen, the RDW always advises you to report it to the police.

Missing license plates and registration certificate

If you are missing both your license plates and your registration certificate, file a missing report with the police. With the report, you can purchase temporary license plates.
