Understand the APK periodic inspection and when an additional RDW inspection or import appointment may apply.
A normal APK and an RDW inspection for import or modification are different procedures.
Check the APK expiry date. Use an approved inspection station. Follow RDW instructions for imports or modifications. Bring the requested vehicle and identity documents.
Read the report and resolve defects or administrative steps on time.
Keep the inspection report. Understand repair and reinspection requirements. Verify that the result appears in the vehicle record. Do not drive when the vehicle is not legally permitted on the road.
