Where can I find my meldcode?

There are several places you can find your car's meldcode:

On the vehicle registration certificate:

• The meldcode is located on the front of your vehicle registration certificate, under the license plate number. It's a four-digit code.

On the registration certificate:

• If you recently purchased the car, the meldcode might also be on the registration certificate.

On the chassis sticker:

• The chassis sticker is usually located under the hood or on the inside of a car door. The meldcode is the last four digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the sticker.

Requesting from the RDW:

• You can also request the meldcode online through the RDW website.

Requesting from the seller:

• If you recently bought the car, you can ask the seller for the meldcode.

Other locations:

• In rare cases, the meldcode might be found in other locations within the car, such as the dashboard or door jamb.

Tips:

• If you're unable to locate the meldcode in any of these places, you can contact your car insurance company.
• It's a good idea to write down the meldcode and keep it somewhere easily accessible.

Note:

• The meldcode is different from the chassis number. The chassis number is a unique 17-digit code for each car. The meldcode is simply the last four digits of the chassis number.
