The RDW is responsible for four different subjects in the Netherlands:[5] The RDW is authorized for conducting Motor vehicle type approvals for the entire European Union, and is often chosen by foreign car manufacturers and brand due to a lack of competition from Dutch automobile manufacturers.

The RDW is responsible for supervising Dutch RDW-approved garages and repair-shops for road-legal vehicles.

The RDW is responsible for producing and issuing the physical card that individuals receive, which is also valid as personal identification in the Netherlands.
