Passenger cars by type of owner

Vehicles are registered with the Netherlands Vehicle Authority (RDW) either in the name of a natural person (e.g. an individual citizen) or a legal entity (e.g. a company or organisation).

Sole proprietorships, shipping companies and partnerships fall into the category of natural persons, since vehicles owned by such organisations are always registered under the name of the owner.

Lease cars may be registered in the name of the private owner, in which case they fall under natural persons. But most lease cars are registered under the name of a legal entity (company or organisation).
