Municipality of Maastricht: exchanging a foreign driving licence for a Dutch driving licence
Please note: you must live in the Netherlands and be registered with a municipality to exchange a driving licence that was issued outside the Netherlands. You must hand in your current driving licence when you apply for a Dutch driving licence. You are not allowed to drive until you have received your new driving licence.

You can exchange your driving licence issued outside the Netherlands at the GemeenteLoket (municipal service desk):

2023 fees
The fee for exchanging a driving licence issued outside the Netherlands for a Dutch driving licence is €48.15
The fee must be paid upon application.
Please be aware that exchanging your driving licence usually takes longer than issuing a new driving licence. The Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer – RDW (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) will send you a letter notifying you when you can collect your licence in person. You must collect your licence within 3 months of receiving the letter. Failure to do so will result in destruction of the newly issued licence.
