Registering or suspending a vehicle at a registration desk only with a driving licence from 2026

Do you want to register or suspend a vessel or vehicle in your name at a kentekenloket (registration desk) in 2026? Or do you want to register a vehicle in your name at an RDW-approved company? From January 2026, this will only be possible with a valid Dutch driving licence. Due to privacy considerations, RDW-approved companies may no longer use an ID card or passport for this purpose.
