Municipality of Wageningen: exchanging a foreign driving licence for a Dutch driving licence
If you are going to live in The Netherlands, you may continue to drive with the driving licence for another 185 days. After that, you have to exchange the driving licence via your municipality. Please make an appointment online in the town hall. RDW (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) evaluates your application. Have you obtained your driving licence in a country outside the European Union? In that case, a licence exchange is usually not possible. You will then have to take a driving test again.
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.
