About this plate
EXPORT plates (uitvoerkentekenplaat). Distinct from the TRANSIT (transito) plate, which issues a NEW number to a vehicle that never held a Dutch registration; the transit number's grammar is not published by RDW and is therefore NOT modelled here (see the L0 report).
How long it is valid
days: 14. note: valid 14 days, and never longer than the vehicle's APK (roadworthiness) certificate
