How it works
Milestamp is a logbook you fill in yourself and that your garage can countersign. Below is what you do, in what order, and what happens underneath.
- 01
Add the car
You enter your registration. Make, model, year and fuel type come from the open register held by the RDW, the Dutch vehicle authority, so you do not have to retype them. Several cars in one account is fine; a household with three cars does not need three accounts.
Takes about a minute.
- 02
Record the maintenance
Every service gets a date, an odometer reading, a category and what it cost you. You can attach the invoice or receipt as a photo or PDF, and scan the part number with your phone camera. You can also set when the next service is due — by distance, by date, or both.
These entries are yours and stay under your control.
- 03
Let your garage stamp it
If your garage is signed up with Milestamp, it looks up your registration at the counter and writes the service straight into your logbook. An entry like that carries the garage’s stamp. You cannot edit it afterwards — and that is exactly what makes it usable as proof.

- 04
Share it with a buyer
You create a share link and send it over WhatsApp or email. The recipient needs no account and sees a read-only version of your logbook. You can revoke a link at any time. If you would rather have it on paper: the PDF report holds the same history and the total spend.
Your address details are not in it — only the car and the maintenance.
- 05
Transfer it on sale
You generate a transfer code and give it to the buyer. As soon as they enter it, the car moves to their account with its full history and disappears from yours. At that same moment, every share link you ever made for that car stops working.
The buyer only needs a free account of their own.
I have kept no records for years
Then you start with what does exist. Invoices for earlier services can usually still be requested from the garage that carried them out; the APK history of your car — the Dutch annual roadworthiness test — is free at the RDW; and the manufacturer often holds a digital service record you can have printed out for a fee.
