As the regulatory authority for motor vehicles, the RDW falls under the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. If you want a vehicle purchased abroad to be provided with a Dutch registration number, you will have to have the vehicle examined by the RDW. During the inspection, the RDW inspector will assess whether the vehicle is suitable to be allowed on the road in the Netherlands.
