Have you sold your scooter or are you planning to sell your scooter? Then there are some things you need to pay attention to.

What do you need to pay attention to? We have prepared a step-by-step plan for you.
Where can I register a scooter?
When you have purchased a scooter, as the new owner, you must have the license plate transferred to your name. This is also called transferring. You will receive a certificate of indemnification. Once you are in possession of a indemnification certificate, you are no longer liable for the obligations you have as a registration holder.
You can have the license plate transferred at a license plate counter, a PostNL location, an RDW inspection station or an RDW counter. It is also possible to transfer the scooter online. How the online transfer of a scooter works and what the conditions are, you can read here.

Step-by-step plan for registering a scooter
The registration of a scooter goes as follows:
- Get the necessary documents from the seller.
- Bring these documents including a valid ID to a license plate counter, a PostNL location, an RDW inspection station or an RDW counter.
- You pay the cost (2024: €12.50).
