RDW
 

In the Netherlands a yearly technical inspection of motorized vehicles is required for vehicles older than 3 years. This inspection is called A.P.K. (in UK it is MOT). At an A.P.K service station they will check your car for safety and emission reasons.
I went to the RDW with my car for its A.P.K check and license plate / chassis number registration. My car needed a new registration because of the engine swap and the color and weight change.


Waiting for its technical inspection...

Everything was OK with the Prelude, except they want the technical police to have a look at my car. So they can be sure my car or the engine is not stolen. After this check next week, I finally can drive my car legally :)
