Qenteken

Check any Dutch license plate in a second. Qenteken gives you instant insight into vehicle data for cars, motorcycles, mopeds, buses, and trucks. No hassle, no waiting.

Free license plate lookup

Enter a license plate and immediately see the make, model, version, and year of manufacture. You'll see the MOT status with expiration date, engine power in kW and hp, fuel type, engine displacement, and number of cylinders. The unladen weight, maximum mass, and towing capacity are also visible. The monthly road tax is automatically calculated. You can see if the vehicle is insured, if there are any open recalls, and how many owners the car has had. The export status and first registration date are also immediately visible.

All this without an account or registration. Simply enter the license plate number and you're done.

Premium Vehicle Report

For the serious car buyer, we offer the Premium Report. This gives you access to data you won't find anywhere else.

Odometer verification shows all recorded mileage over the years. Odometer fraud is a major problem with used cars. A car that suddenly has 50,000 fewer kilometers than last year is suspicious. With our odometer check, you can see this immediately.

Owner history shows who has owned the car. How many owners, how long each owner has owned it, and whether it was private or business. A leased car that changes every three years is used differently than a car that has been with the same owner for ten years.

The vehicle inspection history shows all inspections, including defects and rejection points. Recurring problems with brakes, rust, or exhaust indicate structural issues. You can see exactly what was found during each inspection.

A damage check indicates whether the vehicle has been damaged or declared a total loss. Important to know before you buy.

A maintenance cost indication shows the average owner's maintenance expenses. Some makes and models are more expensive than others.

A value indication provides an estimate of the current market value based on comparable vehicles.

Voice recognition

Say the license plate number out loud and Qenteken will look it up for you. Handy when you're on the road or at a garage. The voice function recognizes Dutch pronunciation and works quickly and accurately.

Offline availability

License plates you've previously looked up remain available without internet access. Stuck in a parking garage without coverage? No problem. Your saved license plates are always accessible.

Favorites and history

Save license plates as favorites for quick access later. The history function shows all the license plates you've looked up, making it easy to return to vehicles from last week.

Notifications

Receive a notification when the MOT (periodic vehicle safety inspection) for your saved vehicle is about to expire. Never forget an inspection again.

Dark mode

The app adapts to your system settings. Bright display during the day, dark in the evening. Easy on your eyes and your battery.

Reliable sources

All data comes directly from the RDW (Netherlands Vehicle Authority). The same official data used by the government. Up-to-date and reliable.

For everyone

Private individuals check used cars before buying. Dealers quickly find vehicle information for customers. Garages consult technical data during repairs. Car enthusiasts use it out of curiosity. Whether you're buying, selling, or just want to know what kind of car your neighbor drives.

Privacy

No account required for free features. We don't collect anything more than necessary and don't sell any data. Your license plate searches remain yours.
