We had a very good agility lesson yesterday. She nailed a tough weave entrance and was superb on her running aframe. Now just to get our rdw down. #bordercollie #dogsports #agilitydog #montana

Is RDW down right now?
RDW status is calm for most users at this hour, and RDW down reports are low. A plate check with no result or a lookup that times out on one device often has a simple local cause.
Open rdw.nl in a second browser if the kentekencheck will not load. If the home page fails too, the fault is wider than one plate.
Is RDW down for me or everyone?
It is likely just you if a friend runs the same plate check with a clean result. If both pass, check your plate entry and browser first. For most users, is RDW down for me ends with a plate typo.
How do I type a plate the kentekencheck can read?
A check returns no data when the plate is typed wrong or in a format the form reads badly. Extra spaces, a missed letter or a digit in the wrong spot break the match.
Type the plate again and check each letter and digit against the car papers. Try the form with and without hyphens if the first try fails.
When does a vehicle lookup end in a time out?
Lookup pages pull live register data, and a slow pull ends in a time out screen. Reload once, then wait a bit before a fresh try.
Does a blocked script stall the RDW appointment calendar?
The appointment flow opens in steps, and a blocked script or an old browser stalls the calendar step. Open the flow again in a fresh window.
Which vehicles show in Mijn RDW after you sign in?
Mijn RDW shows vehicles tied to the DigiD account that signed in. A vehicle in a partner or company name will not show in a personal list. Sign in with the right account and refresh the list once.
Common RDW Problems and Fixes
Begin with the plate entry and browser checks below, since most failed lookups trace back to the typed plate or a stale session.
Type the plate again and check each character
Read the plate from the car papers, not from memory. Run the check again once the full plate matches the papers.
Try the check with and without hyphens
The plate form reads most Dutch plates well, but a failed try is worth a second format. Enter the plate with hyphens, then without them.
Clear the browser cache and retry the lookup
Old page files can hold a broken lookup screen in place. Clear the cache for rdw.nl and reload the check page.
Sign in to Mijn RDW with the right DigiD account
Sign out in full, then sign in with the DigiD of the person or firm on the registration. Refresh the list.
Book the appointment in one fresh session
Open the appointment flow in a new private window and finish it in one pass. Turn off add-ons that block scripts for that visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check when the kentekencheck finds no car?
Check the plate against the car papers, letter by letter and digit by digit. Try the plate with and without hyphens.
How do I fix a vehicle page that keeps timing out?
Reload the page once on a strong link, then wait a bit and try again. Clear the cache for rdw.nl if the time out screen returns.
Is a RDW outage behind my missing vehicles in Mijn RDW?
A RDW outage can hide vehicle lists for many users at once. Sign in again after a short wait to test the scale.
Does the plate check work for a vehicle from abroad?
The check reads plates in the Dutch register, so a foreign plate gives no Dutch vehicle page.
Can I download a new registration code online?
Yes, the site offers a download for a fresh registration code after DigiD or eHerkenning sign-in. Pay the fee online and watch for the mail with the download link.
Why does my online licence renewal fail at the photo step?
The renewal flow needs a photo sent in by an approved photographer first. Without that photo on file, the steps stall before payment. The photographer sends the photo straight to RDW, and you get a code to use in the renewal form.
