An export registration plate is valid for 14 days unless the car's MOT expires within those 14 days. The export licence plate then expires when the MOT would also expire.

We can issue an invoice declaration for various vehicles. This is only possible if the vehicle is exported via VWE and if the origin of the vehicle can be proved with a supplier's declaration. For a caravan, VWE cannot issue an invoice declaration EUR.1. For this, you can contact the Chamber of Commerce. Finally, it is important to note that we are also obliged to issue an EAD Customs document if the vehicle has an invoice value of over €6,000.

In that case, bring the following items to one of the Service Points: the vehicle, the invoice at the foreign address outside the EU, the vehicle registration card/complete vehicle registration certificate and a valid ID.

If you go to a service point, the advice is to check with them first what they need from you.

• The complete most recent registration certificate. From 1 January 2014, every time there is an owner change, the paper registration certificate will be replaced by a registration card. Therefore, the following distinction exists:
• If a Registration Card was not previously applied for the vehicle, bring the following paper registration documents: Part II (1B Registration Certificate) and Copy Part III/Transcription Certificate/Part II).
• If a Registration Card has been applied for, take this Registration Card along with the corresponding registration code.
• The corresponding number plate(s)
• Exact vehicle odometer reading
• Proof of identity (original and valid):
  • International: identity card or passport
  • National: driving licence, identity card or passport
  • Please note that a residence permit will not be accepted

This can be done at the VWE head office in Heerhugowaard or at one of our service points. Contact.

Via the license plate search box on this page you can find out the euro class of a vehicle.
