Municipality of Delft: applying to collect a driving licence

Have you passed your driving test? Or is your driving licence going to expire? In these cases, apply for a (new) driving licence at the municipality. Make an appointment first. You may only request and collect a driving licence in person.

At your appointment, ensure you bring:

• Valid proof of identity (only for first driving licence applications)
• 1 passport photograph in colour that conforms to all requirements. Your passport photograph must not be older than 6 months.
• Your old driving licence

Still under 18?

In that case, first request a supervisor pass from the RDW before you come to apply for a driving licence. You need not bring the supervisor pass to your appointment with the municipality.

When you come to collect, ensure you bring:

• Valid proof of identity (only for first driving licence applications)
• Collection slip
• Your old driving licence if you apply for a new driving licence

When to collect?

• Normal applications: after 5 working days
• Urgent: the next working day (after 12.00h) if your application was made before 14.00h
