Blue license plate moped

Difference blue and yellow license plate

There are also mopeds with yellow license plates. A moped with a yellow license plate has a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour. Unlike mopeds with blue license plates, those with yellow license plates do require you to wear a helmet. In addition, a moped with a yellow license plate usually rides in built-up areas on the carriageway between cars (with exceptions), while a moped with a blue license plate rides on the bicycle path. What is the same, however, is that you must have at least an AM license and you are required to have moped insurance.

Blue license plate application

You can apply for a blue license plate for your moped through the RDW. Your moped must first be inspected by the RDW. During this inspection they check if the moped complies with the rules for driving on public roads. They also check the technical condition of the moped. Without an inspection you will not get a new license plate. You can make an inspection appointment here. To take your moped to the inspection you do need a license plate. Therefore you can apply for a one-day registration plate. With a one-day license plate you can drive to the inspection station on the day of the inspection.

After the inspection, you will receive the registration card by mail within 5 working days. One working day later you will receive a letter with the registration code. From that moment the license plate is in your name and you must fulfill all vehicle obligations. Thus, you must have a license plate and take out moped insurance. You can buy a blue license plate from a license plate manufacturer approved by the RDW. Prices may vary because each manufacturer may set its own price.
