Municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch: applying to collect a driving licence

To apply for, renew or other information related to a driver's license, click the Apply for/Renew Driver's License button.

Is your driver's license about to expire? You can renew it digitally directly at the RDW. You can click on this option when you click on the button License application/extension.

Have you passed your driving test? Congratulations. Make an appointment to personally apply for your license at the counter. You can't do this online. You can click this option when you click the Apply for/Renew Driver's License button. When applying, the applicant must appear at the counter in person.

Apply for/extend digital driving licence

Applied digitally? Then you will receive notification from RDW after 2 working days. You can pick up the new driving license from then on. You do this at the location you chose when you applied.

Costs

You pay costs for applying for a driving licence.  The costs are listed on the municipal website.

A medical examination is required if:

• Your driving licence expires on or after your 75th birthday.
• You have a medical impairment.
• You need a truck or bus driving licence (C, CE, D or DE). You cannot be examined by a GP, go to an occupational health doctor/registered company doctor.

Follow the procedure via the CBR website. Do this 5 months before applying for or expiring your driving licence.

Collecting

You can collect a driving licence from the place where you applied for it. Do not forget to bring your old driving licence, as you will need to hand it in. You can collect it without an appointment. 

The document remains with us for 3 months. Has it not been collected by then? Then it will be destroyed.

Validity

The license for a moped, motorcycle, agricultural vehicle or passenger car is valid for 10 years in most cases. Licenses for a truck and a bus are valid for up to 5 years. These periods may be shorter due to medical reasons or because of your age. The validity period is listed on the driver's license.

Urgent

Need a driving licence quickly? Then submit an urgent application. If you apply for the driving licence before 2 pm, it will be ready after 2 working days. You pay extra costs. Do you need the driving licence even faster? Then you can call the first working day after your application from 10 am to see if it has arrived yet. Do you no longer have your old driving licence? Then an urgent procedure is not always possible.

If you apply for your driving licence digitally, it will be ready for you after 2 working days. No extra costs will be charged. You can collect it without an appointment.
