Inventory of Technologies for the Electronic Registration Number

The purpose of this document is to provide an inventory of suitable technologies that may be used in the implementation and operation of an Electronic Registration Number, or ERN, for road vehicles.
An ERN is here understood to be “a registration number, acknowledged by the government of the
Netherlands, assigned to a vehicle, suitable for wireless electronic identification of the vehicle for
purposes of the government”, and, as such, a component of an Electronic Vehicle Identification
system. The Dutch word used for the ERN is Electronisch Kenteken, abbreviated by EK.
