Can I transfer a moped without a driver's license?
If you have bought a moped, you must make sure that the license plate is in your name. We call this transfer. You can register a moped even if you do not yet have a driving license. However, you always need valid identification. We tell you all about transferring a moped without a license.
Why transfer a moped without a driver's license?
You don't need a driver's license to buy a moped. Perhaps you are planning to get your driver's license soon, but already have your eye on a nice moped. Of course, if the seller offers a good deal, this is hard to resist. Therefore, you may already be buying a moped even though you do not yet have a driver's license. However, the moped must be registered in your name. Once the license plate is in your name, you are required to take out moped insurance. At a minimum, you must take out third-party insurance for your moped.
How can I transfer a moped without a driver's license?
Transferring a moped is the same both without and with a driver's license. You can follow the following steps for this:
- Ask the seller of the moped for the following documents: the original registration certificate and transfer certificate or thechain certificate in credit card format (also called registration card)
- Take these documents, along with a valid identification document, to a vehicle registration counter, PostNL location, RDW inspection station or RDW desk
- Pay the fee of €10.40 at the counter
- The clerk then puts the moped in your name. You will then receive a registration report. This is written proof of the transaction that you should keep safe
- You will also receive the employee's release certificate. You give this to the seller of the moped
- From the moment the license plate is in your name, you are also liable for the obligations of a license plate holder.
- The RDW will send you the new license plate card the same business day (if the license plate is transferred before 4 p.m.) or the next business day.
