Renew your driving license online in Zoetermeer: ​​that’s how it works

Every ten years it’s that time: if you want to keep driving, you have to renew your driver’s license.

You can read how it works here.

You can renew your driver’s license online via the DMV. That is the Government’s Road Traffic Service. This process is at least 3 working days faster than when you apply for your driving license extension at the municipality. The costs at the RDW are 44.65 euros, which is the same amount as if you personally extended your driving license by an appointment to do with the municipality.

Download DigiD app

Before you can renew your driving license online, you have to go through a number of steps. First install the DigiD app on your phone or tablet. The app checks your identity before you can renew your driving licence. Once this has been done, you pay the costs for your application via iDEAL.

New passport photo

It is mandatory to have a new passport photo taken, so you can no use a passport photo that you happen to have in your wallet. The photo must be taken by a photographer recognized is by the RDW. If you have made an appointment with the photographer, please bring your old driver’s license or driver’s license number. The photographer will send your passport photo and signature securely to the RDW, so that the photo can be placed on your new driving licence. Have you gone through the steps? Then your new driving license will be ready for you at the town hall after two working days. You don’t have to make an appointment to pick it up.
