Municipality of Venlo: 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 foreign driving licence. Your driving licence must still be valid. You must hand in your foreign driving licence when you apply. You are not allowed to drive until you have received your new driving licence.
You can exchange your foreign driving licence at the service desk. Please make an appointment.
You pay a fee for this service. For more information, contact the municipality.
It takes 2 to 4 weeks for the licences to be exchanged. You will receive a letter from the Rijksdienst voor het Wegverkeer – RDW (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) when you can collect your driving licence. You must collect your driving licence in person. You have 3 months to do this after you have received the letter from the RDW. After that time, the driving licence will be destroyed.
