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.

    An ordinary printed passport photo cannot be used for RDW (Dutch vehicle and driving licence authority) online renewal. Have your current licence, supported DigiD (the Dutch digital ID for government websites) and application code ready, plus any required health clearance. Check fees including the separate photographer charge. If you cannot meet the online conditions or need urgent processing, contact the municipality about the appropriate personal route rather than attempting an ineligible online request. Do not assume a submitted application extends the validity of an expired licence.
