You are not the owner or user of the vehicle
In these cases, you must provide additional information when applying for the dispensation. Please note that both situations may apply to you.
The vehicle is not registered to your name
Are you applying for the dispensation, but you are not the owner or keeper of the vehicle? In that case, you need a mandate from the owner or keeper of the vehicle. With this mandate, the owner or keeper declares that they authorise you to apply for dispensation.

The vehicle is not registered to the name of the user
Are you applying for the dispensation, but you are not the person using the vehicle? For example, because you have a leasing company or you manage a fleet? In that case, you need a statement of use from the user (police, fire brigade, emergency medical service or funeral directors). This statement must show that this user is using the vehicle.
