If you are from outside the EU your existing driver’s licence is unfortunately only valid for a period of 6 months (I have heard from some friends that they were able to rent a car even after this period, but I cannot confirm that this is legal). I passed my test for a Dutch driving licence a few months ago (fun fact – this means I now have driver’s licence in 3 countries but own nothing more than a bicycle) and I think it would be useful to explain the major steps of the process. Bear with me here, because this story about ‘How to get a Dutch driving licence?’ is going to be. #1 Register at a driving school The driving school will be your point of contact for all procedures that involve the CBR (‘ Centraal Bureau Rijvaardigsheidbewijzen‘ in Dutch) which is the organisation responsible for conducting driving tests. Once you have registered with a school they will usually recommend that you immediately pick a date and centre for the theory test on the CBR website, since the waiting times are rather long (the nearest location from Delft is in Rijswijk).

There are books and online courses available in English (for motor vehicles but not motorbikes, unfortunately) and I recommend taking online preparatory tests. The test has two sections – traffic rules and hazard perception. In part 1 you must get at least 35/40 questions correct and in part 2 you must get at least 13/25 correct.

This sounds much easier than it is, especially in part 2 where you will have 8 seconds to make a decision (brake, take the foot off the accelerator or do nothing) about the displayed traffic situation.
