EU license plate registration
Before you can drive your imported car on the road, you need to arrange a (Dutch) license plate. Did you know that SCL Rotterdam can help with this? We specialize not only in physical importation but also assist with the entire import process, including Dutch license plate registration.
Converting a Foreign License Plate to a Dutch License Plate with SCL Rotterdam
Before we can transfer and register your car with a Dutch license plate, a registration procedure and APK inspection are necessary. During this process, the imported car is inspected both physically and on paper by one of our own mechanics, a certified RDW APK inspector.
In some cases, an imported car does not immediately comply with European and/or Dutch laws and regulations. For example, American vehicles are not always equipped with a rear fog light. We ensure that before the car is inspected, it is modified to European standards and, if necessary, undergoes an Individual European Type Approval. Once the car is properly inspected, we handle the BPM declaration. This way, everything is taken care of at once, and you can get on the road as soon as possible!
