Offices for renewing a driving licence in the Netherlands

Online renewal depends on the municipality you are registered in

Renewals and replacements are handled by your own municipality. Online renewal, booking a visit to apply, the photo you need and the way you collect the new licence can all differ from one municipality to the next.

101 offices
  • 's-Hertogenbosch

    Stadskantoor ’s-Hertogenbosch

    Wolvenhoek 1, 5211 HH 's-Hertogenbosch

    Renew online or book a counter visit, then collect the new licence without an appointment and hand in the old one.

    For a counter visit, bring valid ID or passport and a compliant colour photograph. Online renewal requires an eligible Dutch licence issued after 1 October 2006 that is not lost or reported stolen, BRP (Dutch population register) registration, suitable DigiD (the Dutch digital ID for government websites) authentication and an application code from an RDW-approved photographer or booth. Ordinary printed photos and SMS-only DigiD are insufficient online. Arrange any required CBR (Dutch driving test and medical fitness assessor) health declaration early, particularly for expiry at age 75 or later, medical restrictions or truck/bus categories.

  • Alkmaar

    Stadskantoor Alkmaar — Mallegatsplein

    Mallegatsplein 10, 1815 AG Alkmaar

    Book a counter visit and collect after about five working days, or renew online and wait for the ready email.

    For the counter bring your old licence, a compliant colour photo under six months old and any required health declaration. Online renewal requires an eligible Dutch licence, BRP (Dutch population register) registration, DigiD (the Dutch digital ID for government websites) with ID check and an application code from an RDW-approved photographer or booth. A lost or reported-stolen licence cannot use this online process. Bring your old licence for collection within three months.

  • Almelo

    Stadhuis Almelo

    Haven Zuidzijde 30, 7607 EW Almelo

    Renew online with the DigiD app and collect at the town hall, or book a visit if online is not possible.

    Take your current licence to the photographer and collection. Complete any required CBR (Dutch driving test and medical fitness assessor) health declaration before applying. For a counter application, check the appointment confirmation for the document and photograph checklist. Urgent applications cost €93.30; confirm availability and collection timing with the counter.

  • Almere

    Stadhuis Almere — Burgerzaken

    Stadhuisplein 1, 1315 HR Almere

    Renew online if you qualify and collect at city hall, or book a visit if you do not, which takes longer.

    Online renewal requires a Dutch licence issued after 1 October 2006 that is not lost or reported stolen. Arrange any required CBR (Dutch driving test and medical fitness assessor) health assessment first. At a counter renewal bring your current licence, a compliant photo no older than six months and a payment card. Almere does not sell paper health declarations: obtain them from CBR.

  • Alphen aan den Rijn

    Gemeentehuis Alphen aan den Rijn

    Stadhuisplein 1, 2405 SH Alphen aan den Rijn

    Book a counter visit, where staff also arrange your collection date, or renew online and book collection later.

    Bring current licence, valid identification and a compliant colour photograph no older than six months for the counter route. Check any CBR (Dutch driving test and medical fitness assessor) health assessment well ahead. Ask about the paid urgent procedure if necessary; issue depends on application day, time and additional checks.

  • Amersfoort

    Stadhuis Amersfoort — Burgerzaken

    Stadhuisplein 1, 3811 LM Amersfoort

    Book the application visit and the collection visit separately, at least six working days apart, or renew online.

    For a counter application, bring your old licence and a compliant colour photo no older than six months. Obtain any required CBR (Dutch driving test and medical fitness assessor) health clearance first. Pay by debit card; the ordinary fee is €53.65. Bring your old licence to exchange at collection, or valid passport/ID if it is unavailable. Urgent counter processing costs extra and does not secure an earlier appointment.

  • Amstelveen

    Raadhuis Amstelveen

    Laan Nieuwer-Amstel 1, 1182 JR Amstelveen

    Have your photo taken at an approved photographer first, then renew online or book a town hall appointment.

    For the counter, bring your old licence and a compliant colour photograph no more than six months old. An ordinary photograph cannot be used for RDW (Dutch vehicle and driving licence authority) online renewal. Collect without an appointment during document-collection hours, within three months, and surrender your old licence. Report loss or theft to RDW; online renewal is then unavailable.

  • Amsterdam

If you renew online through RDW, keep the application code sent by email or SMS after an approved photographer or photo booth submits your digital photo and signature.

The RDW application fee for municipal online renewal is €53.65, with the photographer’s photo and signature charges paid separately. The municipality’s current 2026 fee regulation confirms €53.50 for a municipal licence application.

If you renew online through RDW, keep the application code sent by email or SMS after an approved photographer or photo booth submits your digital photo and signature.
