Dutch registration certificate part II, CoC and EX-A for Norway

When we deregister a car for export at our desk, the papers are split between buyer and seller:

• The buyer, or whoever the export is made out to, receives the export certificate (exportbewijs), also called kentekenbewijs deel II, plus the registration card (kentekencard) with a corner cut off.
• The seller receives the vrijwaringsbewijs, the proof that the Dutch registration has stopped. It is for the seller's own records and is not on any Norwegian list.

Statens vegvesen asks for the original foreign registration certificate, and for an EU-model certificate both parts. No Norwegian source names the Dutch papers individually, but the RDW says that the registration card and the export certificate are handed to the organisation abroad where you register the vehicle. NederlandWereldwijd also names the paper kentekenbewijs deel II for export, together with the registration card, as needed for registration abroad. Keep both papers together and in their original form.

For customs clearance at Tolletaten (Norwegian Customs), the official lists name:

• the transit document, if the car arrives in transit;
• the invoice or purchase contract showing the actual purchase price;
• where relevant, the freight invoice and proof of other costs, such as insurance for the transport;
• the original foreign registration document;
• the certificate of conformity (CoC), if there is one.

For a car bought in the EU, the invoice or purchase contract with the actual price also serves as proof of ownership. The steps themselves are explained on our page about importing a car into Norway.

Skatteetaten lists the CoC among the documents for clearance and states that without a CoC the vehicle needs to be checked by Statens vegvesen. You are told which documents to bring to the inspection itself when you book it. We offer CoC guidance on request; the route varies by manufacturer and importer, so ask us early.

At the trafikkstasjon you need the foreign registration certificate, ID and the signed form "Melding om registrering". The owner registers the car, or someone with written authorisation. The foreign number plates are handed in at registration, and that should apply to the white export plates too; ask the trafikkstasjon if you are unsure. You then receive a temporary registration certificate, and the vognkort, the Norwegian registration certificate, follows by post.

Norway is outside the EU, so besides the RDW papers the car needs an export declaration with Dutch Customs: the EX-A document. It is a separate customs document on top of the RDW papers, with its own requirements. We can arrange both at our desk in Hengelo, but we do not promise that they are ready on the same day. See our page on the EX-A export declaration for Norway.

For the export itself, bring a valid passport, ID card or driving licence of the person in whose name the export is made, the registration card with its tenaamstellingscode (or the old paper parts), the yellow Dutch plates, the current mileage and the buyer's full address abroad; the checklist below shows everything. The export is made in the buyer's name. If the buyer cannot come, a contact person in the Netherlands may arrange it.

Everything can also be done at a distance: we prepare online, you send the yellow plates by post or courier, and we return the papers insured and with tracking, also to Norway. Is the car already in Norway? Then the export runs by post through a different procedure, insured with DHL: standard in about 5 working days, DHL Express in about 1 working day. Contact us first; we will then also discuss the export declaration. Selling the car yourself? Read how to sell a car for export, and see our prices for exporting to Norway.
