1. If your vehicle requires it’s inspection, make an appointment with an RDW-approved PTI company. You can recognise such a company by the approval sign with the text ‘RDW erkend’ (RDW-approved) and a sticker with the text ‘PTI light vehicles’ (APK lichte voertuigen) or ‘PTI heavy vehicles’ (APK zware voertuigen).
2. The inspector of the PTI company will inspect the vehicle.
3. The costs of an inspection vary per company.
4. After the inspection, you should always receive an inspection report (including in case of rejection).

RDW check

By conducting random tests, RDW checks whether the inspections are performed properly. If your vehicle is selected for a random test, you are legally obliged to cooperate. The RDW inspector will be on site within 90 minutes. He will then perform the check.

Outside the Netherlands, PTI inspections can only be performed in Belgium and Spain. The PTI inspection requirements in Spain differ from those in the Netherlands. You can inquire about the requirements at the location of your choice. In Spain, you are also required to show the original registration certificate during the inspection. If the vehicle is registered in the Netherlands as a taxi, the PTI inspection may not be performed in Spain.

Upon approval, the completion of the vehicle inspection is notified online to the RDW and you will receive a PTI inspection report. Please make sure that in addition to the Spanish report, you also receive the Dutch inspection report. If the vehicle is rejected, you must repair it or have it repaired and then have it re-inspected.  

Accessibility Spanish inspection stations

The Spanish inspection stations do not reside under the responsibility of the RDW. If they cannot be reached or fail to respond, the RDW will not be able to mediate.

Tips for filling in Spanish web forms

• Spanish phone numbers always consist of 9 digits.
• Enter your mobile phone number without the 0 in front.
• Enter the ‘date-first-licensed’ on a Spanish form with a slash between the numbers. In other words, not 20-9-2019, but 20/9/2019.
