– REGISTRATION – EUROPEAN OFFERS, COSTS AND INFORMATION –

Thanks to agreements with our European partners, specializing in high-end vehicles, we can offer our customers various solutions for nationalizing the vehicles we handle with European documents (Dutch, Italian, or German). Our offers are listed below:

“NL TITLE” OFFER
“ONLY IT” LICENSE PLATES OFFER
“NL+IT” LICENSE PLATES OFFER

Each request is always evaluated on a case-by-case basis and specifically to fully understand its feasibility and procedures, as well as to correctly interpret and comply with current regulations. We recommend that you carefully read all the notes at the bottom of the page.

Contact us, we will be happy to talk about it.

“NL TITLE” OFFER

Dedicated to vintage vehicles (min. 30 years old; between 20 and 30 to be verified), includes:

– vehicle check-up to verify its actual condition; 
– necessary modifications required to meet the minimum requirements in order to pass the test(s) at the DMV(s)* (included in the offer only for vehicles at least 30 years old, for younger ones: to be evaluated);
– testing at the local Dutch DMV (RDW) in approximately 1-3 weeks; 
– NL Title with RDW export license; technical data sheet (in two languages); 
– APK (inspection valid throughout Europe for one to four years, based on the age and type of vehicle – only for cars younger than 50 years**); 
– invoice certifying the value of the vehicle; assistance and management of practices.

Cost: 1.300 euro

In particular circumstances, we also offer the option of German documents (TÜV); the procedure is similar to the one described above for this offer, with same terms, conditions and cost.

* According to the Italian Highway Code to which it must comply – as minimum requirements – the vehicle must: have the odometer in km and not in miles; working lights, EEC approved, with orange front indicators, non-red lighting system; perfect braking system; functioning and smoke-free exhaust system; if a car has seat belt attachments from the factory, these must be EEC approved.

** In the Netherlands the APK is not available for motorcycles and for cars older than 50 year – rules that can change at any time; for this reason, in other European countries (e.g. Italy) it may be required to represent in any case the motorcycle to the local DMV to have it re-tested / the documents may be issued with the “placement on the road after inspection” (agreements to be made specifically with the agency).

“ONLY IT” LICENSE PLATES OFFER

In collaboration with the Italian agency we work with, we can offer Italian nationalization-only solutions that can be assessed for all vehicles we can handle, whether from outside the EU or Europe, whether classic or modern.

Cost, divided into two tranches of payments, to be specifically evaluated and estimated:

• our fee – if required – to be paid through our European agents: min. 200 euro
• to be paid to the agency, according to its terms and conditions*: from 600 to 2,200 euro ca. based on: necessary and mandatory procedures; documents, age, type and origin of the vehicles.

“NL+IT” LICENSE PLATES OFFER

Dedicated to vintage vehicles (minimum 30 years old; between 20 and 30 to be verified), includes:

– the complete “NL Title” offer + Italian nationalization

Cost, divided into two tranches of payments:

• to us, through our European agents when the NL Title is obtained: 1.150 euro
• to be paid to the agency: to be evaluated and specifically estimated*, as indicated above.

*The “IT part” is always examined and evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on the documents, age, type, and origin of the vehicles, and is managed and organized directly by the Italian agency with which we collaborate. Approximate timeframes: about 2-10 weeks from receipt of the documents at the agency.

NOTES ON COSTS (click/tap on the titles to read):

For both offers that include the NL Title –

➢ +100 euro if the stamp on the chassis number is not present (required for testing at RDW, mandatory).

➢ +50 euro only if a “priority check” appointment at the Dutch motor vehicle inspection is necessary (at the discretion of our Partners).

➢ As a rule, “physical” Dutch export license plates are not required. These are necessary only if you want to drive a vehicle during the two weeks of validity of the RDW export license, possible extra cost: approximately 80-100 euro; to this must be added the European insurance, the cost of which depends on the driver’s age, country of origin, etc., the rate starts approximately at 90 euro for two weeks.

➢ +150 euro if a BPM return is required (for vehicles under than 25 y/o); furthermore, if they need to be presented to a specialized import station after the RDW test, our NL offers standard fees can vary up to 2.350 euro.

For offers that include the “IT part” –

In Italy, vehicles between 20 and 30 years of age, and younger, are mandatorily subject to the IPT (Provincial Transcription Tax – cost not included in the offers, communicated by the agency and calculated based on the kW of the vehicle).

For all offers –

Any other extra costs to us and/or the agency – which cannot be foreseen or mentioned in advance here – including work on vehicles required to pass inspection(s), and/or extra procedures, will have to be evaluated at the moment.

IMPORTANT – N.B.:

Each request is evaluated specifically, on a case-by-case basis. All vehicles must…

be sufficiently original, running, well-functioning and have all the minimum requirements for road circulation according to current regulations; otherwise, additional work and/or procedures – not included in the aforementioned offers – may be required to pass the inspection(s) and/or obtain the required documents.

For the “NL+IT” and “NL Title” offers–

Vehicles requiring restoration and/or major work are not inspected; however, we offer all our other services for these vehicles as well. Odometer updates are included and performed where possible and without excessive modifications to the vehicle. In the Netherlands BPM return is always required, for vehicles under than 25 years old this can involve additional costs (see next section).

For Italian customers who wish to request the “NL+IT” or “NL Title” license plate offer –

It is mandatory to have requested the “purchase through us via NL” service (described in our official document “How We Operate – T&Cs”) or to have purchased a vehicle directly in Europe on their behalf, as in Italy – despite EU regulations – it is no longer sufficient to present the proforma invoice to local vehicle authorities to certify its value.

For the local registration of vehicles of non-EEC origin –

In addition to customs documents and receipts for paid import taxes, the Title Apostille may be requested (recommended): a stamp/seal affixed to the original documents or certifications issued by foreign authorities where they were issued in order to certify their authenticity and make them valid in the country where the new documents are to be produced; both countries must be members of the Hague Convention of 5 December 1961 (as are, for example, the United States and Italy). The Apostille must usually be requested directly from the competent offices (e.g. Secretariat of State or specialized agencies) where the Title was issued. A&M Garage does not normally deal with these aspects.

For Italy –

Each vehicle must comply with Italian Ministerial Circular no. 581 of 12/17/2025 and subsequent ones. For the local registration of vehicles of non-EEC origin: if historic, the CRS (Certificate of Historical Relevance) is always required; to do this, the vehicles must meet the minimum circulation requirements according to current regulations and be presented for inspection at: the Italian DMV if after 1960; or at the CPA (Vehicle Testing Center) if before 1960. Requests for modifications/adjustments and/or additional procedures are possible.

For all proposed solutions –

We do not work with other agencies (or entities) that are not affiliated with us and whose professionalism is unknown to us. Valid insurance is required for driving with foreign license plates. A&M Garage LLC and its partners are not responsible for requests from local agencies or entities that do not comply with standard practices and/or European Community regulations required to obtain nationalization of vehicles for which one of our offers has been requested. Likewise, A&M Garage LLC and its partners are not responsible for any sudden and/or unnotified changes in local laws and regulations. We recommend that you carefully read all the notes on this page.
