Dutch vehicle registration plate
Endpoint GET /v1/nl/vehicle-registration
What it covers
Returns a realistic Dutch vehicle registration plate (*kenteken*). `type` selects the kind: `standard` (default, a current civilian sidecode-11 `LLL-NN-L`, e.g. PDA-01-D), `motorcycle` (`M`-series `NN-LLL-N`), `historic` (dark-blue pre-1978 `NN-NN-LL`), `diplomatic` (`CD-NN-NN`), `military` (KM/KZ/LM/DM + `LL-NN-NN`), `dealer` (green `HA-NN-NN`), or `export` (`Z-NN-NN`). For a `standard` plate, `sidecode` pins one of the still-issued civilian sidecodes (5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11) and `era` chooses `current`, `legacy` (the digit-leading sidecodes 3/4), or `both`. The Netherlands encodes no region, issues no vanity plates, and no plate carries a checksum, so there is no invalid variant. Use `format` to choose hyphenated or compact rendering.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | integer1–1000 | Number of records to return, 1–1000 (your plan may lower this). Omitted returns a single record; set it for a batch. |
| edge | boolean | Restrict output to edge-case plates from the rare corners of the format. |
| era | "current" | "legacy" | "both" | Which era of civilian sidecodes a standard plate honours: current (default), legacy (digit-leading 3/4), or both. |
| extreme | boolean | Return a correct value wrapped in a hostile encoding (untrimmed whitespace, invisible/zero-width characters, BOM, or bidi/combining marks). Homoglyphs are excluded so the value stays machine-parseable; it still validates after normalisation. |
| format | "with-hyphen" | "compact" | Plate rendering: hyphenated or compact. Default with-hyphen. |
| invalid | boolean | Return a deliberately invalid value that fails validation, for testing rejection paths. |
| seed | integer | Integer seed for reproducible output: the same seed always yields the same record. |
| sidecode | integer | Pin a standard plate to a still-issued civilian sidecode: 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, or 11. |
| type | "standard" | "motorcycle" | "historic" | "diplomatic" | "military" | "dealer" | "export" | Plate kind: standard, motorcycle, historic, diplomatic, military, dealer, or export. |
