Vende tu auto en Países Bajos

In the Netherlands the RDW registers the change of owner; between private persons the buyer transfers the registration (overschrijven) online with DigiD or at a kentekenloket such as a PostNL branch, using the seller's kentekencard and full tenaamstellingscode. The seller's key step is getting the vrijwaringsbewijs, the only accepted proof that the car is no longer theirs. Publicar en MotorHangar es gratis y toma unos tres minutos; no necesitas la documentación para publicar.

Paso a paso

  1. Check that your registration card and code are valid Recomendado

    To sell you need a valid registration document and the valid nine-digit tenaamstellingscode. RDW lets you check both for free with the document number, plate and code; if the card or code is invalid, the transfer cannot go ahead and you must first request a new one.

  2. Gather the kentekencard and the full tenaamstellingscode Requerido por ley

    The seller provides the kentekencard (or a temporary document number) and the complete tenaamstellingscode: part 1 (4 digits) is on the tenaamstellingsverslag and part 2 (5 digits) arrived by post from the RDW. For an old paper registration, bring the original tenaamstellingsbewijs and overschrijvingsbewijs instead.

  3. Transfer the registration to the buyer Requerido por ley Vendedor y comprador

    The buyer does the transfer: online with the DigiD app (identity check) using the seller's card details and code, or together at a kentekenloket (PostNL branches are kentekenloketten), an RDW counter or an RDW inspection station, with no appointment needed. Online transfer is not possible with a paper registration. The buyer must show valid ID, be 18+, and be registered at a Dutch address in the BRP.

  4. Get the vrijwaringsbewijs from the buyer Requerido por ley Vendedor y comprador

    The vrijwaringsbewijs proves the car is no longer in your name, and it is the only accepted proof that you are no longer responsible for APK, insurance, road tax and traffic fines. At a counter the buyer receives it and hands it to you; online the buyer receives it by email and passes it on (ANWB notes the online link is valid for only 30 days). Keep it safe.

  5. Buyer insures the car before driving Requerido por ley Comprador

    A car must be WA (third-party) insured from the moment it is in the new owner's name; the meldcode (last 4 characters of the VIN, also on the kentekencard) is used to arrange it. Driving without the required insurance or a valid APK can lead to a CJIB fine.

  6. Road tax stops and is refunded automatically Recomendado

    The transfer registers the car for motor vehicle tax (MRB) in the buyer's name. Tax the seller paid for the period after the car left their name is refunded automatically, also with direct debit; amounts of €5 or less are not refunded and oldtimers under the transitional scheme get no refund.

Mantente seguro cuando los compradores se pongan en contacto contigo

  • Never accept an 'afstandsverklaring' or similar statement instead of the official vrijwaringsbewijs: until you have it, you remain responsible for the car (ANWB).
  • Do not hand over the car without completing the transfer: as long as the registration is in your name and you have no vrijwaringsbewijs, you remain responsible for APK, insurance, road tax and traffic fines (ANWB).
