Municipality of Zaltbommel: 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. 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.

  • your (old) valid foreign driving license (this will be sent to the RDW)
  • a good-looking passport photo. Please note the requirements?
  • in a number of cases a declaration of suitability. Check with the municipality whether this is required for your exchange
  • a valid proof of identity (identity or residence document)
  • possibly a translation of foreign documents. The translation must be made by a sworn interpreter or by the Embassy or Consulate.
  • a bank card or cash. You pay at the time of application

You will visit the municipal office for this purpose.
