Do you need a Dutch licence?

Foreign licence: exchange it or start from scratch?

Check this first. It can save you time and money.

EU or EFTA driving licence
You can usually exchange it for a Dutch licence without exams, even if it has expired. Your licence stays valid in the Netherlands for a limited period (15 years from the issue date for car category B). Exchange it at your municipality.
Non-EU licence: the 185-day rule
If you moved to the Netherlands, you may drive on a valid foreign licence for the first 185 days. After that you need a Dutch licence, even if your application is still being processed.
Exchange without exams (some countries)
Licences from some non-EU countries can be exchanged without exams, for example Japan, South Korea, Israel, Taiwan, Singapore and the UK. For other countries you must have lived there for 185 days in the year you obtained your licence.
30% ruling or expat scheme
If you work in the Netherlands under the 30% ruling (highly skilled migrant), any foreign licence can be exchanged without exams.
Licence cannot be exchanged
Then you must pass both the CBR theory exam and the practical exam. This is where we help: lessons in English, exam preparation and exam registration.

Rules depend on your country, residence status and licence category, and they can change. Always check the official pages of the RDW and your municipality, or ask us during your trial lesson.

Theory and practical exam

CBR exams in English.

Theory exam. The CBR car theory exam is available in Dutch and English at the CBR exam centres. You choose English when you book the exam in Mijn CBR, where you log in with DigiD. A passed theory exam is valid for 1.5 years, so plan your practical exam in time. Have you not got a DigiD yet? Ask us how to continue.

Practical exam. Worried about the language? You do not need to be. Some CBR examiners speak English. If your examiner does not, your ToGO instructor sits in the car and interprets during the exam. We also prepare you in advance for the typical instructions, so you know exactly what to expect on exam day.

The best driving school in the Netherlands, hands down! Great explanations, friendly and good communication. I got my licence within 4 months. This was discussed during the trial lesson and they stuck to it.

Without ToGO I would not have passed. After many setbacks with other instructors I ended up at ToGO driving school. He gave me confidence, explained things clearly and helped me go from failing to passing.
