RDW register data overview

For example, when you use your certificate of release lost or your insurance company wants to know which license plates in your name, then it is possible to join the RDW a overview request from the data which are listed in the RDW registry(license plates that are or have been in your name). You can show this statement to your insurance company. Based on it, they can stop your current insurance. Your insurer is not required to accept this statement. It is wise to check with your insurance company first.
