The Authorization Letter For Claiming Plate Number is a crucial document within the Dutch vehicle registration system, used when a vehicle owner cannot personally attend the RDW office to claim a license plate number. This document is particularly relevant in situations involving vehicle purchases, imports, or registration transfers where third-party representation is necessary. Under Dutch law, specifically the Road Traffic Act 1994 and Vehicle Registration Regulations, this authorization must include specific details about all parties involved, the vehicle, and the scope of authority being granted. The document must comply with RDW requirements and may need notarization depending on the circumstances. It's commonly used by businesses managing fleet vehicles, individuals purchasing vehicles through dealers, or in situations where mobility restrictions prevent personal attendance.
