Legal framework (context)
Part of Caribbean Netherlands (BES)
Road tax and vehicle registration fall under:
- Island government (registration & licence plate)
- Caribbean Netherlands Tax Authority (MRB)
Administration is largely document- and counter-driven
How this platform improves
Administrative
One digital vehicle register as source for: Licence plate, Holder/owner, Insurance status, Tax status. No separate Excel files, paper files or manual transfer. Fully auditable under administrative law (decision → objection → appeal).
Operational
Police see immediately whether a vehicle: is insured, is tax-liable, is suspended or blocked.
Municipality no longer needs manual checks on registration or transfer.
