Expatcenter services include:

- Issuing the Certificate of Health (verklaring van geschiktheid) to drivers wanting to exchange their foreign driving licence for a Dutch licence
- Sales of Amstelveen parking permits
To qualify for the Expatcenter service, the individual or their company must be based in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Almere or Haarlemmermeer. The employer must also be participating in the special entry procedure for highly skilled migrants.
