Why do I need to have my moped inspected?

In the latter case, theRDW mayenter a “prohibition on driving on public roads” in the vehicle registration database. They also do this if the moped does not match the information on theregistration certificate. The prohibition will be lifted only after you have had the moped inspected, at which point you may drive on public roads again.

Where should I take my moped for inspection?

You can have your moped inspected at an RDW inspection station. To do so, you must schedule an inspection appointment online in advance. If the inspection is for damage assessment, you may ride your moped on public roads on the day of the appointment. This is limited to the route from your home to the inspection station. If you are having your moped inspected because it does not yet have a license plate, you can apply for a one-day license plate. This allows you to ride your moped to the inspection station on the day of the inspection.

What do inspectors look for during the inspection?

During the inspection, the RDW checks whether your moped complies with the rules for driving on public roads. These are requirements related to, among other things, traffic safety and environmental considerations. The technical condition of the moped is also checked. In this way, the RDW ensures that all motor vehicles on the road meet safety standards.

Can you get a moped inspected without registration papers?

During the inspection, the year of manufacture or the date on which the moped was first put into service is determined. If this cannot be determined based on the moped itself, you must be able to prove the year of manufacture with supporting documents. These could include, for example, a receipt for the moped or a warranty certificate. In principle, you can also have your moped inspected without documentation, as long as it meets all legal requirements. However, the inspection process is faster if you have the necessary documentation.
